Game Start

This was a gallery exhibit of six games that I led production and design on

Game Start was made out of a desire to bring communities together, and to showcase the artistic potential of games as a medium. Recognizing that games are incomplete without a player allowed this exhibit to focus on the empathy and self reflectiveness required to be part of an active medium. Six games were made for the show that work within this theme.

The show was exhibited at Latitude 53 from October 7th through November 11th 2016. This was the gallery's official statement.:

"Game Start brings a community of collaborators into the gallery with experimental games—creating connections between technical communities and visual arts practices in Edmonton. Prud’homme connected interdisciplinary teams to create an ambitious new set of installations using the game cabinet as a springboard for an experimental workshop process. The works by this Edmonton ad-hoc collective explore the act of participation within unusual stagings as a vehicle for disarming experiences and self-reflection

With: Lexie Bartlett, Adam Bignell, Joey da Costa, Andrea da Costa, Deanna Dombrowski, Simon Fessehaye, Wyatt Fleming, Sabrina Gannon, Logan Gilmour, Alexa Guse, Jessica Hong, LeeAnne Johnston, Lisa Jones, Aaron Krebs, Simone Kousol-Graham, Dayna Lacoursiere, Maud Madsen, Alex Makepeace, Daria Nordell, Kelsey Prud’homme, Matt Satchwill, Josh Smith, Chris Szott, Kristin Warren, and Mickael Zerihoun."
