This week we are featuring the artist Andrew Y. Ames with the installation: "Mano a Mano". Andrew is a new-media artist and designer working with games. His goal is not only to make entertaining games, but to epitomize the societies that makes them so.
He says about his installation: "Mano a Mano is a regulation-size arm-wrestling table built on massive legs. However, it is not a regular arm-wresting table. The rusty steel top, worn leather elbow rests, sweat-stained pin pads and walnut enclosure, conceal electronics that sense and process the wrestling match. Players discover that the table reacts to the back-and-forth movement of their interlocked grip. The table detects hand and arm location as players exert force and press for victory, and the table responds by playing pre-recorded sounds."
