tom betts: qqq

QQQ is based on the expanding cultural practice of computer game modification. The software application that gamers use is modified to warp the audiences experience of this frenzied online space. By modifying the code QQQ subverts the function of the application. The digital arenas of Quake are manipulated using generative programming techniques to produce abstract architectural forms, afterimage trails and motion smears.

Remote online gamers act as invisible 'performers'. Contextually shifted, their actions and interactions are transformed into a participatory live art performance.
