![]() ![]() With funding from grants, Washko purchased every "course," book, and guide available from the community's most prominent figures to create The Game: The Game and allow players to have an experience with a pick up artist-from a safe distance. These men have developed entire systems to mechanize the act of "seduction," and they evangelize and sell their methods to other men who wish to improve their dating life. Think Dream Daddy, but with nightmare men and a haunting soundtrack by Xiu Xiu. The Game: The Game, designed and developed by the artist Angela Washko and currently playable at the Museum of the Moving Image, is a dating simulator that captures what it would be like to interact with so-called experts in the field of getting women into bed. Fortunately, however, I'm not actually in a shitty bar in Los Angeles, surrounded by self-proclaimed "seduction coaches." I'm just playing a video game on my laptop. ![]()
