2010 Annual Fund Project
ABOUT THE PROJECT
This summer, UBERMORGEN.COM, an artist duo composed of lizvlx and Hans Bernhard, were commissioned to create an interactive, engaging work designed to introduce a new worldwide audience to the importance of supporting the Whitney’s Annual Fund—and by extension, art in an increasingly global community.
The Whitney is pleased to announce that, for a limited time, you can support the Annual Fund by playing the games included in CLICKISTAN, a work of computer game art that references early net art and classic coin-operated arcade games such as Space Invaders (1978), Donkey Kong (1981) and Pac Man (1980). As you move through levels, you’ll score points in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. The retro feel of the games will inspire the inner gamer in many, and for those visitors who are knowledgeable about the history of net art, the visit will be even more rewarding.
You can also feel good about playing again and again, because any donations you make will support the Whitney’s Annual Fund. As with all contributions to the Annual Fund, these donations are fully tax deductible!
Gifts to the Annual Fund are purely philanthropic and are applied to general operating expenses at the Museum—from keeping the lights on to assembling groundbreaking exhibitions. Donations to the Annual Fund, in any amount, provide essential support to the Whitney.
