All Day Halo CE LAN party

Players will participate in a competitive in-person video game event scheduled to run all day.
Sponsored by Bawls Energy.
Mac Pierce is concerned with the influence of technology on society and culture, with a special emphasis on the tendencies for technocratic overreach and surveillance to contribute to social decay and violence. His work utilizes 3D printing, coding, video, computer hardware, video game content, and carefully selected text and data, synthesized into a conceptual framework.
Given contemporary national and world political trends, Pierce’s work takes on added significance as many of his conceptual approaches have shown to be relevant to the realities of recent current events.
In addition to an opening reception, the gallery will be hosting a public Halo CE LAN party (participation reservations required), at which players will participate in a competitive in-person video game event scheduled to run all day long. Sponsored by Bawls Energy. Reservation link is above.
