CRASH RUN
CRASH RUN is an amusing simulator of system and interface crashing that reminds us of those horrifying moments when we helplessly watch our beloved hard-disc going mad. Kiran Subbaiah uses screensavers, desktop utilities, and prank programs to make the user believe that their system is in the process of crashing and creates moments of surprise when they instinctively try to intervene into the collapse by interacting. —Natasa Petresin
CRASH RUN is an amusing simulator of system and interface crashing that reminds us of those horrifying moments when we helplessly watch our beloved hard-disc going mad. In this piece Kiran Subbaiah uses screensavers, desktop utilities and prank programmes to make the user believe that his/her system is in the process of no return and creates moments of surprise when he/she instinctively tries to intervene into the collapse by interacting. CRASH RUN is a critique on the perception of interface as a flat entity.
