Gray Area Grand Theater: Artist Talk & Happy Hour: Mélanie Courtinat

Join us on the evening of March 18th at Gray Area as we welcome Mélanie Courtinat, whose interactive game work The Siren is currently on view in the Gray Area Gallery. Turning preconceived notions of video games on their head, Courtinat’s work questions the player’s role in virtual environments—often involving high fidelity graphics rendered by simulation engines. Courtinat will give a short overview of her work, followed by a guided playthrough of The Siren and a Q&A with the audience moderated by associate curator Wade Wallerstein.
