How do we make sense of our environment parse it, probe it, and enact change? COLLISION: Stealing from the Real examines the transformative power of play and technology’s place within this act. Increasingly computer-mediated, simulation is how we learn about the world and test scenarios, a way of exploring identity, critiquing societal norms, constructing and reframing history or just plain having fun. Simulation redefines play as a rules-based process that allows artists to mimic reality and push formal, technical, and conceptual boundaries.

Benjamin Bray, Rob Gonsalves and Anna Kristina Goransson, Faith Holland, Anette Isham, Erika Lincoln, Sarah Rushford, John Slepian, Mark Stock, and William Tremblay.
