    Seeking confort while playing video games.
    David-Alexandre Gueniot

    VideogamesPerformance

    "In 2012, I found a poster of "Ricerca della comodità in una armchair scomoda" [Looking for a comfortable position in an uncomfortable chair], by Bruno Munari. In 14 images, a man tries out various positions to sit on a chair while reading the his newspaper. Since then, it has been posted on one of the dining room walls. In its original version, it was an article in which Munari criticized the inflation of new chairs invented by designers, when there was still so much to do to “get” one simple chair. A few months later, my son received a video game console as a gift and choreographic correspondences began to appear between Munari's poster and the strange positions that child absorbed in his games. Upside down, pins, somersaults, etc. Gymnastics in search of invisible devices. Each position required a new chair that would accommodate the postures of a body undergoing extraordinary adventures. A chair that was probably impossible to obtain." D-A Gueniot. (source: https://ghost.pt/Seeking-Comfort-1)
