| Working with We Throw Switches on Games Are For Everyone Nights V and VI, I was able to curate highly experimental and ephemeral approaches to displaying experimental first-person horror games. Because the event was only a few hours long, durability was not a significant concern and visitors were encouraged to fully engage with the environment created around the game. The event was funded and number of visitors managed through ticket sales. In the venue, the lights were low and the footing was occasionally uneven, due to it being a historical building then used for concerts and parties, so special care had to be taken to reduce trip hazards, leave enough of the floor clear for crowds, and offer sufficient seating to encourage engagement with longer games. The sale of alcohol also limited the audience for the event. Information on the artworks and curatorial framing was provided by both illuminated signs provided by We Throw Switches and texts provided by the artists in the space, or selected and contributed by the curator. These were presented in the manner of “feelies” or props to enhance the environment the game was experienced in. This event was primarily documented through photographs and diagrams of the space before and during the activity, as well as visitor observation and note-taking. | Working with We Throw Switches on Games Are For Everyone Nights V and VI, I was able to curate highly experimental and ephemeral approaches to displaying experimental first-person horror games.
