Polters off to Gallery 1988







So I've finally (pretty much) finished the pieces for the Monster show in October at Gallery 1988 in San Francisco. They are all Poltergoosts. I had been trialling a bunch of other ideas but they no workee. So instead we have the following


A Poltergoost in a 1993ish IMac (couldn't find an Bondi Blue vinyl) complete with keyboard and hockey puck mouse. You can't really see it from this pic, but the screen has a Matrix like pattern of numbers and words on it. Kinda binary-like?

There's the game table. Kind of the piece de resistance really. I followed very closely the game layout of PacMan and used old skool Australian/Japanese gametables as a model for it. I'm kinda proud of this one

An IGhost, a poltergoost stuck in a dead Ipod (you know that horrible sight, when your Ipod has a sad face....)

And a Polter Cartridge, supposed to look a little like an SNES but hasn't quite worked.
Hopefully Steve Jobs won't kick my arse and sue for the little I have!

Awww these are so cool, I'd be happy to have one of these polters in my computer any day.

Well done on your exhibition :)
