War Games

WHEN you play video games, do you ever consider who or what the enemy represents?

Zombies, vampires, monsters and the undead are all common foes in gaming, but first-person shooter games are simulating real-world war zones with increasingly realistic-looking enemies.
Next time you’re taking out the enemy, take a good look at their faces. What nationality are they? Who do they represent in the real world? These are the questions posed by Sydney artist and video-gamer Baden Pailthorpe in his exhibition Other v2.0, which opens tonight at Inflight ARI gallery...

If we accept Arthur Danto’s diagnosis that the contemporary art object is characterised by a self-referential question ‘what is art?’, then we are led to question in every instance what an object of art may teach us about the contemporary art world. There may not always be an obvious answer, however in the case of Baden Pailthorpe’s Other v2.0 we see a very clear instance where the traditional vocation of the artist as a vessel for ethical questioning and dialogue is invoked, putting into question some of the boundaries commonly erected between art, aesthetics and politics.
