Chispitas // Anne-Marie Schleiner and Luis Hernandez
Opening: Thursday March 29, 2007, 8:30 p.m. Galeria Sector
Reforma, Guadelejara, Mexico

Chispitas is an exhibit of experimental game art pieces by
Luis Hernandez and Anne-Marie Schleiner, and collaborators
of theirs. Included is an arcade-like interactive sculpture

"Corridos" a car driving music game inspired by the
Mexican/US Border. Also showing is "Oversaturation", an
abstract game rooted in Mexico City's urban problematics,
and
"Heaven711" a hip hop poetry game in four languages.
Chispas also shows a number of "Machinima" remixed game art
videos, such as "Riot Gear for Rollartista", a series of
short videos dealing with European police abuse of Islamic
immigrants, shown on small screen PSP's. Some other pieces
are OverMachinima and OUT, an urban intervention in
America's Army. "Chispitas", a name suggested by guest
curator Rene Hiyashi, is a variation of slang for Mexican
game arcades, which are popular spaces of play and public
social interaction in many parts of Mexico.
