Visitors to Comfort Control enter a den-like domestic
interior, complete with wood-paneled walls and burnt
orange carpet, and sit in a lay-z-boy recliner facing
a large-screen TV.
Once seated, wrist restraints are
put in place, the television issues demands, and only
the correct set of emotional responses wins the prize
of 'freedom'.
Addressing issues of emotional expression in relation
to social/psychological situations that demand
specific responses, this interactive computer game
situated within a parodic "entertainment center"
environment is created by artists Brian Cooper, Tomo
Isoyama, and engineer and computer programmer Douglas
Fidaleo, with artist Ann Page as coordinator and
advisor.
The exhibition is curated by Janet Owen, AIM Executive
Director and Raid Projects Guest Curator, with Janice
Ledgerwood.
