WAITING ROOMS · NEW YORK CITY

The goal of the game you discover through play.
- Eric Zimmerman
Waiting Rooms is a large-scale installation developed with game designer Eric Zimmerman.
This work-in-progress explores the themes of bureaucracy, immigration, economic inequality, and the systematization of contemporary life. The Rubin Museum was transformed into a series of absurdist waiting rooms governed by a topsy-turvy social economy through which players progress in sometimes collaborative and sometimes competitive ways.
