Art Mods: First HL2 Art Mods Rolling In
|
|
..and about time..
GMan, whose chilling wiles will be plaguing the dreams of millions right now, has been immortalised in this dreamy portrait, one that exposes the in-game blur effect capable with Half-Life2.
However this is probably the most melancholic fragment of a mod largely designed to explore absurdist situations. For instance few times in life does one have the opportunity to "fire a load of melons at a wall" or "string a soldier up and fire dead babies at him" - such is the licentious yet very thorough quest of Garry.
TY Chad!.

Art Mods: The Suicide Solution
|
|
Any seasoned deathmatch player will remember that eerie transubstantiation of being that occurs when s/he first suicided in game; whether spectacle, accident or necessity, we took our life only to be rewarded with another. With each new game we have one life once, yet it's this capacity to manage our potential as an infinte resource of little lives that lends itself to deviant explorations of suicide - some might argue a new metaphysics altogether.
In his ongoing investigation into the morphology of death in game, Brody offers a unique document for study of this phenomenon. Says Brody:
Suicide Solution is DVD documentation collected over the last year of committing suicide in over 50 first and third person shooter games. The title is a reference to the 1981 song of the same name by Ozzie Osbourne that was blamed for the suicide of an American teenager in 1984. Through the angst ridden logic of teen existentialism, the work offers a repetitive meditation on the act of taking one's own life in a contemporary culture intertwined with pop entertainment and simulation technology.

Art Mods: Prepared PlayStation 2

"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. There are eight prepared scenarios in total.

 If PlayStation2 can't give you the level of thrill your jaded, cynical, hyperstimulated self increasingly demands, upgrade to the PainStation2.
PainStation2 is laser cut, stainless steel PEU (Pain Execution Unit) of quality German design. Never mass produced, each PEU is a handcrafted piece of beauty and pain. Customizable features include designer whips of rubber, leather, lace and feathers for non-intrusive pain infliction.
