About

Character Creator is the second show in the four-part exhibition series Matchmaking at SEAGER, exploring how artists make work with and about video games.

 

The exhibition investigates the idea of the avatar, second selves and lives lived online. The exhibition reflects upon how artists use video games as a vehicle for speaking about representation in the digital space, escaping into virtual worlds and finding oneself through the act of play.

 

Each exhibition in the series is accompanied by a reading list of books that inspired the ideas behind the exhibition, as well as a number of books selected by the exhibiting artists that inform their practice, available to read within the gallery space.

 

With artworks from Bob Bicknell-Knight, Jamie Janković, Cassie McQuater, Petra Szemán, Willem Weismann and Stacia Yeapanis, curated by Bob Bicknell-Knight.
