Eye in the Sky Hold’em at NADA

May 14-17, 2015

Reprising our 2014 collaboration between Melissa Brown and Where, “Eye in the Sky Hold ‘Em” was an off-site, private poker lounge in which invited players wagered original artworks in winner-take-all rounds of Texas Hold ‘Em. The winner of each round left the table with an art collection.

Whereas previous games streamed on Where’s web site, this four-game tournament was visible only to attendees at NADA NY via closed circuit television. This video feed was installed throughout the fair on specially designed kiosks, which doubled as phone charging stations.

Players included:

Ellen Altfest, Glen Baldridge, Gina Beavers, Mike DeLucia, Matthew F. Fisher, Jess Fuller, E. J. Hauser, Andrew Kuo, R. Lyon, Michael Mahalchick, John O’Connor, Virginia Poundstone, Fawn Rogers, Amanda Schmitt, Siebren Versteeg, Wendy White, and more…
