GAMESHOW version 1.0

Gameshow version 1.0 is an interactive digital performance art event that explores the issues and dynamics of interactivity by placing a live performer in a computer generated 3D gaming environment, where she can interact with a live studio audience via video projection. Through the use of live chroma key technology and the familiar environment of 3D video games, the artist creates unique, interactive experiences for both performer and audience. Together they must navigate the game to achieve common goals of solving puzzles, exploring the environment, battling foes and finding objects.
