DCA to explore cultural impact of computer games
UCLA Game Lab Director Eddo Stern
Dundee Contemporary Arts in Scotland will present an exhibition titled "Small Wars and CD_ROMS" featuring the work of UCLA Game Lab Director and Design Media Arts Professor Eddo Stern.
"Small Wars and CD_ROMS has been curated in partnership with Dr William Huber, head of the Centre for Excellence in Game Education at Abertay University and will coincide with a conference the university is hosting for academics and game educators.
Los Angeles based artist Eddo Stern will explore the uneasy and otherwise unconscious connections between physical existence and electronic simulation in his exhibition Small Wars.
Stern will present his celebrated Vietnam Romance installation, which recreates and interrogates the fictionalised history of the Vietnam War through a mash-up of cultural artefacts drawn primarily from Hollywood film culture as well as war memorabilia, comic books, popular music and adventure tourism packages."— Stefan Morkis, June 8, 2016
