Carrie Sijia Wang is a New York based multimedia artist. Her work has been shown at Pier 92 (New York), Art Museum of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, New York Transit Museum, Spokane Public Library, CultureHub (New York) and more.
Inspired by addictive mobile games, Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus", and people's obsession with looking at themselves, Games of Futility is a series of screen-based games where players are either bound to lose, or can only gain temporary victories.
What inspired you to make this project?:
My inspiration of this project comes from simple yet addictive games, The Myth of Sisyphus, daily rituals we do tirelessly without thinking, the process of remembering, and people being obsessed with looking into the mirror.
