Description
When playing a board game or video game, one might experience a range of emotions from elation, to gratification, to anger. Games often provide a moment of respite from the "real world" and allow the player to escape into fantasy.The eight artists in NextNew Games create work within this alternative space. The works consider our current social, political, and cultural climate creating a porous relationship between the imaginary land of the game space and that of the real world. These artists move away from the dichotomy of winning or losing. They collectively subvert and interrupt the modes of operating within a game while reflecting on how these game spheres serve has as mirrors to our current society.
