Audience & Avatar

October 24 – December 13, 2008
USFCAM East Gallery

Audience & Avatar brings together an international group of artists who explore diverse ways in which videogames, game culture, technology and psychology influence participation and representation of the viewer in art. The exhibition includes a wide range of media—digital painting, digital photography, photography, video, custom self-running games, and sculpture—exploring the tension between virtual space and real space, between game space and art space. Artists include: John Paul Bichard, Damiano Colacito, Jon Haddock, Eva and Franco Mattes (a.k.a. 0100101110101101.ORG), Eddo Stern and Phillip Toledano.
