◥ Part of Terraforms - Game Mods at Babycastles ◥
Curated by Sarah Brin and Zach Gage
( v. ) 1. to modify a world's environment so that it can support Earth life-forms, especially humans. An exhibition dedicated to game artists and their radical reconfigurations of traditional gamescapes. As we move further into the digital realm, the rules that govern it are becoming increasingly transparent. What was once clearly articulated has become an amorphous set of unchallenged rules and sociological boundaries. Despite their subtlety, these digital restrictions, much like the natural laws of the physical world, affect every aspect of the increasingly virtual lifestyles we lead. Yet, the virtural world is made of code, and its rules can be broken. These seven artists move outside of digital boundaries, forcibly modifying gamescapes while pressing us to rethink our beliefs.

DADAMACHINIMA explores tactics of emergent gameplay, disrupted modes of interactivity, and brute-force hacks of contemporary (video)game interfaces and environments. In Aram Bartholls 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 protagonists arm with the weapon. datenform.de/fpseng.html 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 Playstations camera-based games being triggered by prerecorded video clips.
compositeclub.cc 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. kahoabe.net/MaryMack5000 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.
