Gameboy

Sculpture
Wood, metal, plastic, acrylic; 180 cm
Edition: 1.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Gameboy is an interactive sculpture that explores our impulse toward constant competition and escapism. Composed of plastic elements from various games, the piece takes the form of an alternative robot — the kind a child might assemble from their favorite pastimes. A tablet with a controller embedded at its center invites interaction, offering a momentary escape from everyday life into a playful realm. Gameboy reflects the ambivalence of play: while it fosters curiosity and skill, it can also slip into addiction when balance is lost.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Real objects are created in the workshop by hand, with a variety of plastic details, carved wooden elements, metal heatings, etc. A real tablet is inserted in the center, to which the controller goes. This is a kind of competition, encrusted in the art work.
