🦵 Body Clusters, Counter-Play, and Game Art within Chris Kerich’s Piles.
Published in Mediascape: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, 2019
This is an interview article with game art Chris Kerich about his piece Piles, which I first encountered while working for Vector Festival and InterAccess in 2018. The piece shows recorded gameplay of Kerich collecting and piling up all of the bodies of all the enemy or NPC characters’s bodies within a variety of video games.
