High Tech challenges, Belmont Park, Mission Beach, California, 2015

We confront a massive sculpted soccer goalie, while the man standing next to it is confronting his cell phone. The huge goalie is part of a confusing high tech coin-operated machine set up along this amusement park’s midway. The machine seems to urges us to kick a ball into the net at the bottom of the machine, while the impassive, larger-than-life goalie promises to track our accomplishments upon his illuminated torso. I contrast this incongruously baffling machine to the confused fellow standing next to it at this moment. His angled feet and arms echo the angled oversized arms and hands of the gloved goalie. We may not be sure how to actually score a goal here, while the man standing next to the machine seems just as uncertain about the high-tech challenge in his own hands.
