Digital Culture Evening: Workshop with Cory Arcangel at New Museum

JAN 29, 2004 Digital Culture Evening 6:30 - 8PM

New York-based artist Cory Arcangel will host a games programming workshop as part of the Killer Instinct exhibition.

"Killer Instinct"
December 12, 2003 - February 1, 2004

Once considered a pastime for kids, games are now a full-fledged part of adult life, situated as a shared public culture not unlike television. Games come off the screen and to life in this exhibition including sculpture, video, painting, and, of course, Ataris and computers. Besides experimental hacks of commercial games, Killer Instinct features artists who use game hardware and software for social commentary as well as in the development of musical and filmic projects. Player, viewer, artist, curator or critic – the cross-pollination of gaming and art spheres allows visitors to assume several of these roles during the course of the exhibition. Killer Instinct is organized by Anne Barlow and Rachel Greene.

Is this true? I don't say it in a confrontational
spirit -I'm just curious. I actually don't know
anybody (even my kids, late twenties, mid twenties and
a teen) with any sustained & declared interest in
games - though this could well be an index of my
isolation!

hi michael,

i'm not all that hot about either television or games. but is there "a
shared public culture not unlike television" concerning games? game as show.
net as cable. did you see last night what happened to clone 5883 on
destructo middle east? no, i missed that…is it a tv show? it's a massively
parallel game. sounds political. yes, it is, in a sense. is it a computer
game? do you have maya? let's stop there. there are plug n play modules like
destructo western civ or destructo planet. i said let's stop there. care for
a game of poetroid? i'm warning you. just kidding. yeah sure you are; what's
the score? the score? game of maya. i meant the product. no ideas but in
products? i'm as much of a thinker as what you used to call a writer. i
believe that; and the underside is exposed; but sometimes it seems like all
underside. break on through to the other side, dude. do i get any points for
that? that isn't in the game. so it's not about just winning? there's
winning and losing; but which is which is confusing. can we quit this,
please? sure; could you please pass the potatoes?

This post actually preceded my PS post of last week,
which was a PS to this, -it just took a week to get to
the list.
I say this, to anyone who cares, just to offer some
clarification for what looks like my inability to let
it lie.
best
