Attacks from Mars:
We Welcome Our Robot Overlords
Art Installation by Totally LegitOpening night party at Vermillion, the 2nd Thursday (Capitol Hill Art Walk)In the age of digital media, there’s a renewed nostalgia for the kinetic, sensory bumps and clicks of mechanical machines, as exemplified by the resurgent popularity of pinball games here in the Pacific Northwest. Using pinball as a metaphor, this art installation examines our relationship with technology, where you are the ball in a large-scale, immersive playfield, reconnecting you with your tactile nature. The original Attack from Mars pinball game tells the story of technologically advanced aliens attacking earth, with a
rt referencing the ‘50s. We reimagine the theme to explore our more modern, complex relationship with technology, where good robots help us fight evil robots as they attack an idealized cloud city.
