PAIZO, ERGO SUM: In the intersection of Video Games and Sculpture

What if the existence of a video game was inextricably bound to its physical shape? This project presents a video game that escapes its electronic boundaries and exists neither in the digital nor the physical, but in the intersection of the two: a collection of digital works that come alive on a sculpture that is both expression and obstacle.

★ Thesis Experimental alt.ctrl Transmedial
"An exploration of struggle and making-do, played on the intersection of a collection of digital works and a real-world tower built from the remnants of an arduous journey."
