Silver to Silicon:Media Myth and Mania on CD-ROM Artec London 1994


The piece was structured as a binary branching choice "seven ages of man or woman" interactive biographical narrative, with the player assuming the role of the either male or female "Mogul". The player chose between two action options at each level. There were more than 80 Interactive tableaux images in the whole game, plus accompanying sound, text and QuickTime movies. A mythic parallel universe of neoclassic futility interweaves the narrative at various key points as a metaphor for the ultimate emptiness of the scramble for media control
