As the semester draws to a close, we’d like to preview some of the cool games-related thesis projects getting built at Parsons. Come play them at the MFADT Thesis show opening, May 6th, 7-10 PM at 6 East 16th Street // 2 West 13th Street. (And yes, there will be beer.)

Deautomatized is a hardware installation where two people trade vision and inevitably end up touching each other in strange ways. No one’s sure why people inevitably start caressing each other — maybe it’s the mirror effect, maybe it’s a side-effect of defamiliarization. Whatever it is, it’s trippy. Project by Pavel Mamontov.
