Overview

South Korean artist Jisun Kim examines the strange and sometimes violent world of online gaming in a bold, playful, provocative new installation at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.

Climax of the Next Scene is a multi-screen video work featuring a pair of Teletubbies — yes, Teletubbies — reflecting on the carnage and futility of games from Minecraft to Grand Theft Auto. Screening at ACMI from February 2–5 as part of Asia TOPA, the work speaks to Kim's ongoing focus on systems and marginalised spaces, and shapes up as a truly mind-boggling viewing experience. Kim will also take part in a one-off Q&A session on the evening of Thursday, February 2.
