Arcade Assembly

Overview

Is it a maze? Is it a board game? Is it a puzzle? Maybe. Arcade Assembly is whatever you make of it - an interactive art installation to explore how we communicate and connect with each other in this modern age.

With pocket avatar in tow, players head through the maze encountering various games, performances and other players along the way, all the while picking up clues as to the identity of their own little companion. The team at Shopfront Arts and Performance have worked together with a diverse group of young people from Sydney, all of whom all have experienced exclusion in some way, to produce this exciting piece.

Armed with cardboard, scissors and and their imaginations, these youthful folk have created an atmosphere reminiscent of the old amusement arcades and funfairs. They have then juxtaposed this against our modern world, to raise questions about how we interact with each other. The exhibition combines imaginative artworks, digital media and original music, the latter with support from DJ Meem and Heaps Decent.
