Jason Nelson’s New Work “Nothing You Have Done Deserves Such Praise” [#geekgirl]

Nothing You Have Done Deserves Such Praise

Title: Nothing You Have Done Deserves Such Praise
Web: http://www.turbulence.org/Works/nothing/

“NYHDDSP is an art/ poetry/ adventuring game, a playland for exploring our ever-present desire for constant and over-blown rewards. Our worlds (digital and breathing) are filled with needless and unearned praise, we are built to love exploding trophies for fifth place. This art/poetry game satisfies your compliment addiction by celebrating your walking/ jumping/ falling through strange and wondrous anatomical lands. The game is sponsored by my Turbulence.org, a New Media organization in NYC and the NEA.”
