Jason "Sandy" Sandburg

Battlesapian

Had been studying the violence and anonymity of children’s games- specifically Parker Brothers’ Battleship. I wanted to enlarge the scale and bring humans back into the game. You can place a little red peg in a plastic game piece and it will not mean that much. I built a 34′ X 14′ game board and replaced the ships with humans wrapped in gray felt. Hits were recorded with over-sized “hit pegs” that exploded a blood pack when placed on a “game piece.”
