| Jason Nelson’s “game,game,game and again game”Jason Nelson,an internationally regarded (yet not deservingly so in Australia unfortunately) digital artist,has created a great literary game about games, religion,society,net art and interaction design in general called “game,game,game and again game”. It is a great fun and very clever work that has attracted over 7 million hits from newspapers and magazines. The game is described by Nelson as: a digital poem/game/net artwork hybrid of sorts. There are 13 curious levels filled with poetics,hand drawn creatures,scribbles backgrounds and other poorly made bits. The theme (cringe) hovers around our many failed/error filled/compelling belief systems,from consumerism to monotheism. But more it repels the tyranny (cringe) of clean design and cold smoothness of much of the web/net-art.

It would make a great subject for study in classes on games,net art and interaction design,as well as a rich topic for an academic essay.
