Abstract/Summary:
This project explores postmodern design issues through the creation of an interactive installation using new media and video games as ideological forms. I have designed an interaction that is a metaphor for living in a technocapitalist society in which we seek distraction in spectacle, leisure and play, only to be confronted with the profit-logic of capitalism that has colonized these realms of social life.
