GAME ? ADVANCE
SCULPTURE, TEXTILE ART
Game ? Advance is an act of playful repurposing through sculpture. It is critical of how hardware and software reproduce dominant ideologies around gender and power, but it also imagines an alternative history. What does it mean to de- or re-gender a Game Boy Advance? How do we reconcile old technologies to move towards a better future that welcomes a broad range of subjectivities?
