Rethinking Wargames Activate

launch project >>

project description: The rethinking wargames blog is a participatory net art project. The primary aim of this project is to create an online game dedicated to 'changing the game'; reworking chess to reflect social values and structures more appropriate and reflective of the urgent needs and nature of our contemporary global community.

Those with a talent for strategic thinking, are invited to contribute to the reevaluation of an evidently inhumane, anachronistic and violent system of human institutions, mirrored on the chessboard.

software used in the project: At the moment I'm using the blog software at Journalscape.com. However as the project progresses I'll be working with Flash server sockets, php and mysql as.

contributor: Ruth Catlow

biography: Ruth is an Internet artist and co founder and director of furtherfield.org with Marc Garrett. She works with people, digital and network media, sculpture, writing, music and drawing; in the streets & other public spaces and on the Internet.

The work usually connects with specific (often unsuspecting) groups of people in a distinct condition or environment i.e. on their way to work, doing the shopping, taking the kids to school, playing games etc. Or they intersect strangely with dominant and pre-established entertainment genres in the mass media such as games or pornography on the web.

Ruth is currently Associate Senior lecturer in Constructed and Virtual Environments at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication, UK.

other comments: "I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who could contribute to a solution to this problem...so please email me. No ideas are too extraordinary to be considered. It may be, that in your view, the problem is unsolvable in which case I would still like to hear from you about why this is."
