"DADAMACHINIMA" Exhibition
Devotion Gallery
This event has ended.
DADAMACHINIMA explores tactics of emergent gameplay, disrupted modes of interactivity, and brute-force hacks of contemporary (video)game interfaces and environments.
In Aram Bartholl's project 'First Person Shooter' a now iconic screen-element, adapted from the videogame Counter-Strike, is transferred into physical space. Players can cut and glue parts from a do-it-yourself kit together and receive a pair of glasses bearing the protagonist's arm with the weapon.

JODI, or jodi.org, are unanimously considered pioneers of new media art. Their work 'Composite Club' is a conceptual hack of the popular "Eyetoy" device involving Playstation's camera-based games being triggered by prerecorded video clips.

'Mary Mack 5000' by Kaho Abe & Lina Fenequito is a fast-paced, competitive, technologically enhanced rocker-twist on the classic schoolyard hand clapping game that challenges your rhythm, speed and timing.

In 'Video Terraform Dance Party' director Jeremy Bailey plays an enthusiastic nerd channeling Bob Ross as he dons a forehead-mounted VR controller to demonstrate new modeling software that will allow him to bop his head around and 'plan the ideal landscape.

Julian Oliver's augmented reality 'levelHead' uses a hand-held solid-plastic cube as its only interface. On-screen it appears each face of the cube contains a little room, each of which are logically connected by doors. By tilting the cube the player directs a character from room to room in an effort to find the exit.
