{"product_id":"fair-game","title":"Fair Game","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1980s, before gamification and social media interactions became part of everyone’s daily life, Ericka Beckman was already exploring these themes in her films. \u003cem\u003eFair Game\u003c\/em\u003e is the first publication in German about Beckman’s practice, released on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name. It is a cooperative undertaking by M Leuven and Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover, where Beckman’s pioneering videos are presented for the first time in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe words of Marie de Brugerolle, Mark Cutler, and Valerie Verhack steer us directly into Beckman’s primary-color universe through an analysis of the animated multimedia installation \u003cem\u003eNanotech Players\u003c\/em\u003e (1989) and two pivotal films—Beckman’s first 16mm film, \u003cem\u003eYou the Better\u003c\/em\u003e (1983) and her latest effort, \u003cem\u003eReach Capacity\u003c\/em\u003e (2020). The latter are separated by almost forty years, and yet both deal with a highly topical matter: games as a means of structuring capitalist society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[publisher's note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mousse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57357769900372,"sku":"A8B-30648","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/Num_C3_A9riser_2063_af8c4fa6-b929-4c70-ab02-66084aac2564.jpg?v=1790812969","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/fair-game","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
