Exhibitor’s text
"Artifacts" stems from a passionate relationship with video games. A strong thrill of embarking on adventures in digital worlds and uncovering rare treasures. The collectible is the core of the games and the motivation to keep playing late into the night.
Like another manic porcelain collector, I go to the internet black markets and exchange money from my newspaper delivery job for digital gold coins. Always hungry for more, a magical hat, an enchanted ring.
