Much of the western world\u2019s cultural surroundings, belief systems, and design-scapes, create the built illusion of clean lines and definitive choice, cold narrow pathways of five colors, three body sizes and encapsulated philosophy.\u00a0 Within net\/new media art the techno-filter extends these straight lines into exacting geometries and smooth bit rates, the personal as WYSIWYG buttons. This game\/artwork, while forever attached to these belief\/design systems, attempts to re-introduce the hand-drawn, the messy and illogical, the human and personal creation into the digital, via a retro-game style interface,\u00a0 Hovering above and attached to the poorly drawn aesthetic is a personal examination of how we\/I continually switch and un-switch our dominate belief systems. Moving from levels themed for faith or real estate, for chemistry or capitalism, the user triggers corrected poetry, jittering creatures and death and deathless noises. In addition each level contains short videos from the artist\u2019s childhood, representing those brief young interactions which spark out eventual beliefs. &#8220;Game, game, game and again game&#8221; is less a game about scoring and skill, and more an awkward and disjointed atmospheric, the self built into a jumping, rolling meander of life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Born from the Oklahoma flatlands of farmers and thunderstorms, Jason\u00a0builds digital poems, art games and curious digital creatures.
