potato audio poetry by Jacob

[raw]
made by Jacob for LD26 (COMPO)
Combining both the familiar appearance of the common potato with the radical contrast of sheer empty space my work explores the rift that exists in our post agrarian society.

The gestalt appearance of this tuberous crop, familiar to many as a common food can serve as a metaphor for the existential struggle of existing in a post industrial society.

The apparent contradiction of audio poetry references the numinous 'eyes' that cover the surface of the food, transposing eyes and ears to provoke introspection.

I think your entry really raises some interesting questions about the nature of reality. For instance, games may be art, but are games games?

There was a potato named Jacob
Who couldn't find anything to make up
So he wrote a neat game
And thus he gained fame
And waited for players to wake up.
