Artist and UC San Diego alumna Angela Washko (MFA Visual Art '15) is featured in a solo exhibition, Performing in Public (Four Years of Ephemeral Actions in World of Warcraft), the fall show in the gallery@calit2 that will continue into early December.
For the past four years, the artist has been creating performances inside the most popular and highest-grossing multiplayer online video game of all time: World of Warcraft (WoW). Operating under performative stage titles including The Council on Gender Sensitivity and Behavioral Awareness in World of Warcraft, and The World of Warcraft Psychogeographical Association, Washko says she "began to think of World of Warcraft as less of a game and more as a massive, networked public social space. Looking at WoW through this new lens, I began to create a series of actions or performative gestures responding to both the social and representative 'physical' environment."
