Last night was a night of fun, games, and technology at the Museum of Modern Art for PopRally’s Arcade. Arcade featured games selected by Kill Screen that were inspired by the current MoMA exhibition "Talk to Me: Design and Communication between People and Objects." Guests could play throughout the museum with controls that ranged from computer keyboards to game consoles, and even the human body.
One such game, Limbo , had players recuse their lost “sister” in a dark, Tom Burton-esque forest. Starry Heavens, a large-scale game located outside in The Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, made players into pawns on a life-size board below balloon "clouds."
Heathered Pearls DJ'd provided the technologically-inspired soundtrack for the night, and custom designed tote bags were given out upon entry. PopRally is supported in part by The Friends of Education of The Museum of Modern Art. Additional support by Sud de France Wines and Brooklyn Brewery.
