Check out the video game-based art piece, “Unskippable Dialogue” by Alison Faygo in “Is There Wi-Fi in Heaven? Grieving in the Digital Age” at Vision Gallery. The art piece is uniquely set up, as the piece includes car auto parts and portable DVD players for the 3D animated videos to play. Two videos converse with one another: once played together, steadily unsynchronized over time. A road-trip never taken, daydreams that reference a past so distant it comprises a sort of liminal space in the mind.
“The title ‘Unskippable Dialogue’ references the video game mechanic of the same name where players are forced to sit through dialogue sequences before progressing. While often a source of frustration and interruption of flow state for players, these pauses frequently conceal the necessary loading before the next scene. What appears as narrative delay is in fact a threshold, a moment where the system quietly prepares what comes next.”
"Is There Wi-fi in Heaven? Grieving in the Digital Age" curated by Regan Henley ( ) is on display now through June 6
