INTERACTIVE ART
2007-2009 Collection
Acrylic on Canvas
Analia's interpretation of tic tac toe, darts, and other classic games engages viewers as participants, using symbols of power and gender as well as more everyday symbols, to playfully express social themes and morals on canvas. Art becomes interactive -like a game -while expressing signs and symbols that resonate with each participant.
Although the “game board” artwork structure may look like Tic Tac Toe, the intention is to consider “playing the game” with mindsets familiar to us in life. As art is an expression, the artist has created an interactive work of art that engages participants on 3 levels: Beginner; Advanced; Expert. How do you experience power? At what level are you playing?
