"I call it an emotional machine." – Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley on THE DELUSION
Hear from artist and game designer Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, curator Tamar Clarke-Brown and producer Ruth Waters about the exhibition THE DELUSION.
Combining satire and absurd humour with cooperative gaming and participatory theatre, the project explores the real-world impacts of societal division. Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley invites visitors into a “live community play” which aims to rehumanise debates and provide a meeting space for players to pause, discuss and reconnect.
Commissioned and produced by Serpentine Arts Technologies, THE DELUSION is Brathwaite-Shirley’s most ambitious work to date. It features a new series of video games and works developed collaboratively over the course of the past year with a team of artists, researchers, technologists and members of Danielle’s Black Trans and Queer community.
