It was a cool name with no meaning: Art Game Thunderdome. I had thought the fact that my short-lived video series dealt with hypothetical art games in a rough and tumble manner might justify the title…but ultimately the name was just a hollow ideal. There was no sense of competition, I think—no game to the “art game.” It wasn’t even sound and fury signifying nothing. It was just sound.

You got a sense of the time period, but not of the characters. I think we can do more. I believe expression to be infinitely adaptable, no matter the medium. And not just the expression of setting…but the deep structure of the characters themselves. We ...... Read More»
