Super Pong @ The Creators Project festival in DUMBO, NY
by
SuperUber
SuperUber brings Super Pong to The
Creators Project festival, in DUMBO, New York. Displayed
for the first time at the exhibition Pelé Station, during
the 2006 World Cup in Berlin, Germany, Super Pong is a
game-installation inspired by Pong and Foosball, where up
to 8 people can play. All the primary elements are present
in this minimalist game: competitiveness, adrenaline,
precision, and coordination. When you score a goal, you
watch an animation inspired by Pele’s famous moves. Super
Pong doesn’t need instructions, it’s simple and
straightforward – it brings the minimalist aesthetics of
classic video games to the contemporary audience.
The Creators Project celebrates creativity, culture and technology,
through the work of visionary artists around the world.
The festival includes new media art exhibitions,
screenings, and musical performances such as Florence +
the Machine, Atlas Sound and Company Flow, Four Tet and
John Maus. Super Pong is shown amongst works like Mick
Rock and Barney Clay’s David Bowie transfiguration and
Quayola’s Strata #4. | |
