Description

In her series, My Life as a Sim, Stacia Yeapanis explores the simulated-reality computer game The Sims 2. Yeapanis is on the cutting edge of new media, innovating new approaches to the creation of art.

Regarding her project, Yeapanis remarks, “My initial interest stemmed from the nature of the game, in which players pursue their own purposes and perform their own subjectivity by using their avatars [Sims] as extensions of themselves. Gameplay becomes an ongoing negotiation of the self. There’s no way to win the game unless you perceive that you've won.”
