Place
Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide, SA
Description

Laurens Tan used a monitor as the central focus of a piece that was essentially a non-operational poker machine, borrowed the form of a futuristic poker machine, beautifully crafted out of formed plywood to carry an animation that used the iconography of gambling and money in a sort of hallucinatory visual mantra.
