Game Art: Joyce Rudinsky's "Psychasthenia Studio" (2011)
"The Psychasthenia Project is an interactive artwork series that explores the culture of psychological diagnosis and treatment within the context of a highly mediated consumer culture that often produces the ills it purports to treat. It is also a reflection on how the culture of mental health has become systematized and organized to fit the needs of the bureaucratic systems it serves. The project focuses on “psychasthenia,” a ubiquitous and historically variable condition characterized by phobias, obsessions, compulsions, and excessive anxiety." (Joyce Rudinsky)
