Exhibition by institution: a culture work simulator

Exhibition by Institution: A Culture Work Simulator is an art museum simulator through the first-person perspective of an entry-level cultural worker. The simulator is based on Nanaimo Art Gallery, a regional, publicly funded, art museum in Nanaimo, British Columbia. The premise of the simulator is inspired by tasks required of entry-level gallery employees, some real and others more poetic, and it poses a critique of institutions spurred by neoliberal structures of funding that cause persistent job insecurity in the arts and culture sector. This artwork is a three-dimensional environmental narrative created through an emergent process with digital tools, transposing and appropriating a local organization as a way of exploring virtual space.
