Super Mario Movie Cory Arcangel (Nintendo cartridge hack; media installation, 2005, 15 minutes. Source code and ROM downloadable from the artist's Web site.) |
As with Super Mario Clouds, Super
Mario Movie exists in several iterations: It has been exhibited
in galleries as a projected installation environment; it has
been shown as single-channel work in screening venues; and the
source code and ROM are available on the Internet. Arcangel
explains: “Certain works work in the gallery and not the
Internet, or on the Internet and not in the gallery. This gets
into the whole thing of where a piece works best. …Let's
take the Super Mario Movie as an example: OK, it works
well in a gallery, works pretty well at Deitch Projects, everybody
was happy, but also it works just as well on the Internet, because
people downloaded it and watched that movie all the time. And
it also works in film festivals.” http://deitch.com/projects/sub.php?projId=153 Return to Cory Arcangel Case Study |
