When Nintendo Gameboy Color was released in 1998 I was ten years old and a brand new African immigrant living in America. Playing video games was my first significant immersion in American Culture. My fond childhood memories of playing Gameboy Color and watching science fiction movies inspired me to create this series of Tableau’s that imagine Nintendo cartridges from the handheld game console Game Boy Color, are the machines called Monoliths from Arthur C. Clarke’s and Stanley Kubrick’s Space Odyssey. Constructed with mountains made out of seamless paper, clouds made of cotton, tress made of cotton candy, and ready-made objects.
