Congratulations to CFC Media Lab Alumnus, Suyin Looui, a New York Artist/Producer who developed Hey Baby, a provoking online first-person shooter game (available to play for free at heybabygame.com).

…At first (Hey Baby) appears to be a self-consciously ridiculous revenge fantasy for women who have felt oppressed or threatened by sexual attention or commentary from men. Think of “Death Wish” with a woman walking home from work in the role of Charles Bronson.

Yet over several hours my initial alienation and annoyance gave way to a swelling appreciation of Hey Baby, not as a game but as a provocative, important work of interactive art as social commentary. The people who should really play Hey Baby are men, even if you have never said a word to a woman you didn’t know on the street.

Way to go, Suyin! (I’ll certainly be thinking of you next time I walk by a construction site…)
