About The Artwork
This piece was inspired by the words of Seth Killian, a gaming developer and creative thinker, for the Future of Gaming show. "Games are magical because they are both a vital rebuke to existing realities and an increasingly crucial perspective to understand them. The image takes the Rene Magritte painting The Castle in the Pyrenees as inspiration, using the device of a city growing out of a large palm tree stump as metaphor for the transformative powers of gaming. Mystery, as Magritte said, is unknowable. The magic of gaming is something that happens within. Games today ask players to create their own terrain, to shape new worlds, altering their perspective, deepening their understanding of what’s possible, and ultimately using gaming as a tool to learn more about themselves and their place in the world. Games of all kinds are deeply cerebral endeavors requiring curiosity, passion and imagination. Naomi White, Los Angeles, 2014

Naomi White is a feminist, artist, and educator, working on ideas at the intersection of political ecology and photography. Focusing on the transformative power of photography to affect desire and change, much of her work questions how we can shift our focus away from the current racist, capitalist model of domination to one of equity and collective voice, for the sake of all people, animals and the planet. White is the winner of PDN’s Objects of Desire award, and a recent finalist for the Hopper Prize. She has attended several artist residencies, and exhibited throughout North America and Europe, including at the art fairs Scope, Art Basel Miami, and Photo LA. Her work has been published in PDN, The Brooklyn Rail, Cut Me Up Magazine, Uncertain States, among others. White holds an MFA in Photography and Related Media from SVA in New York, a Post Baccalaureate in Photography from the San Francisco Art institute, and a BA in English Literature from San Francisco State.
