Work in progress of a site specific installation titled “Respawn”. Screenprint-on-paper sculptures of my WoW character Kryzzik. A collection of Kryzziks will be on display at a “respawn” spot in A+D Gallery, Columbia College (Chicago). A number of dead Kryzziks will be scattered throughout other buildings at Columbia College (death points).
Beginning in Spring 2012, I began a series of art-making experiments in the MMORG World of Warcraft. These “gestures” have included in-game performances, a plug-in to alter game play, hacking a popular WoW wiki, an ongoing Tumblr blog, to name a few. These experiments have led me to my current body-of-work, reinterpreting game experiences and ephemera in physical spaces.

Feminist add-on for WoW: Tired of misogynistic trash talk during game play? Zing ‘em with this! A feministing add-on for WoW called “DunnMe.”
Using the /dunn1 slash command, WoW users can quickly respond to trash talk in feminist-speak. Users can retort with “A woman needs a man like a murloc needs a goblin turbo trike ___(insert name of offender here),” a quote by Irina Dunn made famous by Gloria Steinem.
To install: Unzip DunnMe.zip. You’ll have a folder named DunnMe. Move the DunnMe folder to your World of Warcraft Addon folder. The folder is, by default, in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons for a PC. For a Mac, the default is ~/Applications/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons.
Load up your World of Warcraft client, log in with your normal username and password, and get to your server screen. On this screen, there’s an important button in the bottom left corner with the text “AddOns”. Click this button. On this screen, make sure the DunnMe add on is clicked to use.
To use in-game, simply type the slash command /dunn1 to feminist in WoW!
