Game Art: Matthew Williamson's "Deathmatch With Mom" (2010)
"Documentation of an installation/performance that has my mother and I playing the first-person shooter video game Doom together online." (Matthew Williamson)
"Described once as "frustratingly engaging", Matthew Williamson examines the gaps between the internet and so-called 'real life'. While working in a broad range of formats from print to video, websites to electronics his work is focused on the humorous relationships we forge with our machines. A graduate of the Fanshawe College Fine Art program and a current Ontario College of Art & Design student, Matthew has shown work in Trieste, Italy; Providence, Rhode Island; and Toronto, Ontario."
