Birmingham Exhibition

I also found an exhibition piece that was created using the game The Sims 4. At first glance, it is a bunch of sims sitting around the table talking, with video annotations detailing their conversation such as relationship, drama, etc. similar to a reality TV show. 






From watching a few minutes, a new episode appears with the title "This is my Simulation, And You Are Just Living In It!" 
Around are some seats where you can sit and watch the TV, but above those seats are plum bobs. After some thought, I realised the artist was trying to show us that we are in fact all just sims, and we living in a simulation just like they are.
This has taught me that games are as much of an art form as any other medium, and that even the simplest of installations can be effective. 

From this exhibition, I have decided that I will revise my exhibition and make amendments to make it much more immersive to the viewer, as well as provide much more information for the viewers to understand the exhibition to appreciate it fully.
