Alien Invasion

My work has always challenged the notion of race, gender and sexuality. Although my work is highly charged with political implications, its intent is not political correctness as such, but rather to raise awareness by reflecting on my observations and experience of society.

Finding inspiration from retro games such as Space Invaders and Pong, this piece aims to provide a basis and perspective from which to begin to tackle the complex issue of identity in multi-cultural Britain. It explores the various levels of mutual xenophobia and bigotry. Compiling a satirical cast of characters of various nationalities, the player is confronted by name-calling and role-playing. In playing the game the computer alter ego moves one step closer to transcending the cultural and social stereotype cast of our generation.
