Six Circles is a turn-based, Internet game in which the players explore issues of cooperation and competition by constructing geometric objects.  The game belongs to the genre of entertainment pieces known as "serious games", which explore important issues beyond fun.  Six Circles was commissioned to explore HIV awareness as well as raise funds for creation of an HIV Education Center in the township of Khayelitsha, South Africa.  Contributions as technical director include the design of the game engine and the drag and drop interaction system for game play.  Six Circles opened at Artists' Space, SOHO NYC in December 2004.
