summary
Panel argues video games are a dominant 21st-century medium and notes 3 billion players globally; one project, Camoflux: Levels & Bosses, is a stealth exploration game built from painted textures with abilities for camouflage, environmental energy manipulation and a boss that rewards care — called exponential reciprocity. Another project rigs gallery spaces to manifest a single visitor’s emotion across the room, forcing communal performance and moral choice. An unrealized idea proposes a slow AI-themed virus that degrades institutional computers over months to produce emergent media.
