Mélanie Courtinat: The Siren - Artist Talk, Happy Hour & Workshop

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Gray Area is pleased to present Mélanie Courtinat: The Siren, a solo exhibition and the US premiere of a new video game work by French artist Mélanie Courtinat. Join us in the Gray Area Gallery on February 12th for an opening reception and guided playthrough with curator Wade Wallerstein.

The Siren (2024) is an interactive experience built with Unreal Engine that questions the traditional conventions of video games.

In the game, players embody a heroine wearing a shining suit of armor who wanders aimlessly along a beach at dusk. Once in control, players explore this beautiful and austere world under the watchful eye of an omniscient narrator. The narrator prompts players to undertake the seemingly arbitrary task--or side quest--of collecting bioluminescent seashells scattered across the sand. Only by collecting all of the shells can the player advance to the main quest: rescuing a damsel in distress.
