Artist Statement
As a British artist of Chinese origin, Tone Balone addresses issues of discrimination and xenophobia in his retroactive computer game ‘Alien Invasion’. Whether you choose to defend the motherland from invasion, or attack immigrants, with xenophobic abuse, ‘Alien Invasion’ is a powerful comment on the impact of computer play on the social dynamics of multicultural Europe.
