plaything
Exhibition at Sydney College Of The Arts, March 2007
The installation consists of a series of screen-based games played from a freestanding console that negotiate two-dimensional space in different ways using line, colour, shapes and simple gameplay. These games lead to video clips of young women responding to questions posed in the plaything research questionnaire.
