 "Prepared PlayStation 2" (RSG-THPS4-1)—Using unmodified versions of the PlayStation game "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4," this piece exploits bugs and glitches in the code to create dirty, jolting game loops. Video games are both the medium and the content of the work; no additional footage or editing is used. After being "prepared," the game plays itself perpetually.

A DVD (RSG-THPS4-DVD) containing six video clips from the multi-channel game installation is available from EAI.
The piece was performed in a three channel live mix at Volume in New York on February 7, 2004. A three channel installation
was exhibited at SF Camerawork in San Francisco from May 11 to June 12, 2004.
Images and videos available on their website.
