Completion 2021, full-time study as Graduate Teaching Assistant

The study explores how games theory might elucidate and generate participatory art. The combination of participatory art practice and games theory generates insight into the processes, forms and affects of participation in, and on public space. The investigation centres on a body of nimble, low-tech works including drawing with breath on civic office windows, and lamp-post swingball, where swipes are marked with Iambic pentameter. Urban maypole, considered as a ‘gameful artwork’ operates by creating an interface that extends participants' reach into the world, and draws the world in to the artwork: re-materialising and re-drawing the relationship between game and the everyday.
