GAY SIMULATOR BY IRIS VAN DER MEULE

‘Gay Simulator’ is an interactive VR artwork and game, based on Iris van der Meule her own experiences as a lesbian and those of others. It’s a colorful and fun experience but with a serious undertone. The aim of ‘Gay Simulator’ is to create awareness in a playful manner by showing the verbal and physical violence which lesbians are still confronted with today. It is an ode to love and sexuality.

Like every other game ‘Gay Simulator’ consists of a number of levels that the player has to compete. In each level the player can earn Pride Points, the high score is achieved when every Pride Point is earned. The point system will motivate the player to experience things in a certain way in scenario’s they might not find in real life. Players with the high score will be eternalized in the Gay Simulator’s ‘Hall of Fame’.

Don’t hesitate and try the demo of ‘Gay Simulator’ during the Playgrounds’ Conference of Art & Design.
