Untitled War, 2004 Performance (6 Deathmatch Rounds, 2 hours) Untitled War was a performative event where fantasy role-playing, historical reinactment, extreme sports, and computer games collided within the confines of the fortress that is the Los Angeles gallery Machine Project. 12 warriors from various historical periods from the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) endured fighting in a round based First Person Shooter Game style for 2 hours. Live camera views similar to the spectator camera views found in online FPS games were projected next door at the Echo Park Film Center, creating a game-like viewing experience for those outside the space. Music was provided at the event by the experimental pop band The Winks. |
