Against Network Induced Hallucination

Against Network Induced Hallucination

For this work, consumer information technology is commodity that finally speaks for itself. In its hands the brand, exists no longer virtually as in commodity fetishism, but is reinforced time and time again through its directing and instructing of the user. This Nintendo DSi is one of many information (entertainment) machines abandoned by their creators to the secondary market or landfill, and so its voice is at least muted. 

When it is hacked, when the guardrails of firmware are stripped away, can this commodity be turned into pure material? When the direct impact of the production of integrated circuits is global scale horror, and the collective consciousness is captured by info-machines, one of the few ways out might be a social- ecological, materialist computing. This game is both an exploration of these themes and an enactment of the principles described.
