Art Contest Pictures and Review
MTV has visited the Sims in the Hands of Artists exhibition at the Chelsea Museum of Art in New York recently, and brought back a report and thirteen pictures from the floor. 55 Works from the Parsons New School for Design were featured, including Sims scultures and quilts, fake expansion pack boxes. Another one was just the plumb bob projected on the wall, waiting for someone to stand under it. There was also machinima, like "City Swap" which shows what happens when a real-life person and a Sim switch lives. "Space Elevator" showed projections on big screens hanging from the ceilings, showing Sims and their mood indicators. A homage to "Mill of the Mind" allowed people to press a sequence of buttons to torture Sims. Prize winning painting "Accessorizing" showed a gray figure, with a plot of land and a house as its head. The least Sims looking object in the exhibit won the $5,000 prize, a zoetrope, showed stills from the Sims. It showed a motion of a living Sim to a dead Sim. More details about the exhibition and MTV's findings is in the full article, pictures are also available.
