Alien vs.. Computer?

[Daisuke28]

Lose/Lose is a video-game with real life consequences. Each alien in the game is created based on a random file on the players computer. If the player kills the alien, the file it is based on is deleted. If the players ship is destroyed, the application itself is deleted.

 

Although touching aliens will cause the player to lose the game, and killing aliens awards points, the aliens will never actually fire at the player. This calls into question the player's mission, which is never explicitly stated, only hinted at through classic game mechanics. Is the player supposed to be an aggressor? Or merely an observer, traversing through a dangerous land?

 

Why do we assume that because we are given a weapon an awarded for using it, that doing so is right?

 

By way of exploring what it means to kill in a video-game, Lose/Lose broaches bigger questions. As technology grows, our understanding of it diminishes, yet, at the same time, it becomes increasingly important in our lives. At what point does our virtual data become as important to us as physical possessions? If we have reached that point already, what real objects do we value less than our data? What implications does trusting something so important to something we understand so poorly have?

It's not art, it's just retarded.

[Daisuke28]

But some of the points are, That the people who created this, said it was "Art", And also, what it said, Are we so dependable on technology?

Not very wise.

To access the internet you have to become a member of the library.

You give them information about yourself and they record every time you get on the computer.

So, if something is gone when you get off they'll trace you down.

Obviously do it on your brother's computer.

[~/Coolio Prime\~]

My library has general access that doesn't require membership to use the internet.
