Looking Outwards 08: The Creative Practice of an Individual

Matt Adams is one of the people that is a part of Blast Theory. This group creates interactive art that questions the way people interact with each other as well as the social and political climate during that time. They test how people respond to various scenarios and create interactive platforms highlighting certain actions and choices. They play with the relationship between real life and fictional lives, often the occupants have to make choices that result in real-life consequences or analysis. Even though a user thinks they are playing a make-believe game, the game might be linked to actual life events that have taken place. I admire that they make people question what is happening in the real world by temporarily removing them and placing them in a fictitious world. Doing so leads the user to think more about the real-life consequences learned from that simulation. The order in which he talked about the projects also helped to explain the concepts. He alternated between explaining and showing the examples, which aided in explaining the concept. The audience is introduced to the idea, then they are shown the project so they can see it in action. After that, he explains the conclusions and the result of the project.
