Online interactivity is overrated. Whether you’re typing a comment into a little box, virtually sword fighting a Korean high school student, or shopping at American Apparel inside Second Life, let’s face it you’re probably actually sitting hunched in chair, dressed only in underpants, sporting a glazed expression on your pizza-stained face. There’s more to life.

Nirmala Shome is majorly one-upping online interactivity this week at her debut exhibition Trash This City. Re-creating Sim City as a giant cardboard model on the gallery floor, she is inviting visitors to step into the game. You will be able to reconfigure the city, graffiti the walls of buildings and ultimately crush the whole thing Mugatu style. Ahh, the wicked thrill of 3D destruction.
