The Disappointment Game In the Disappointment Game the moment of disappointment is made clear by the editing. An excerpt from a well-known thriller series is shown in a window on the screen for as long as the candidate is revolving. (The candidates are distinguished in this game by their different numbers of revolutions.) The clip stops when she stops revolving. The caller is asked to retell the story of the scene; then he or she can choose to guess either what follows immediately, or the whole of the rest of the clip. As a reward the whole clip is shown again on the full screen.

«Narcissism in the media using television as an example»

Taking as point of departure the myth of Narcissus, and transferring the latter to the subject and its relationship to the medium, the Hamburg-based group of women artists -Innen this time used the TV medium to transport their theses relating to that very medium. Unlike in the previous multimedia performance (‘Narzismus in den Medien am Beispiel Fernsehen 1.1 Das Begehren', Hamburg, Munich, Zurich, 1993-94), the theories are presented not in abstract, didactic fashion, but in the form of TV programmes, namely as game shows. The ‘Narcissism Game', the ‘Ego Idealization Game', the ‘Trauma Game' and the ‘Disappointment Game' offer callers a range of multiple-choice prefabricated answers. Pre-produced computer animations, trailers and a specially composed noise/music track are fed into to the studio during the game shows.
