THE INSTALLATION
AXTION CAPTAIN is a playable arcade cabinet outfitted with the visible apparatus of modern data extraction: cameras, biometric scanners, personality questionnaires, and real-time database lookups.
The juxtaposition is the point. Every mobile game and social platform performs these same operations — we just can't see the wires. The cabinet makes the transaction physical: cameras mounted, questions interrupting gameplay, data value calculated and displayed. It's a diagram of what we've already agreed to in exchange for entertainment.
At Ellie Mayer Gallery in Los Angeles, you sit down. You play. You are processed.

Study the face.
Render judgment.
When a Subject plays in Los Angeles, their dossier — photo, psychographic profile, phone lookup data, estimated data value — transmits 2,000 miles to Chicago. It prints at the Del Morocco Field Office inside Marz Brewing. Strangers wearing Field Agent badges pick it up, study a face they'll never meet, and render judgment.
The verdict travels back instantly. The LA Subject watches their rating appear on-screen — delivered by people in a bar they've never been to, operating on criteria they'll never know.
