In both negative and positive conditions the robot switched to the blue neutral rounded square eye cycle when watching the participants' move. In both conditions, the robot's color changed to green when it was making/correcting its move and yellow when it was receiving feedback.

With this game I tried to create a similar, but simplified, style of gameplay that utilized procedurally generated maps to create near infinite novel gameplay experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95c82df8370a4bfc01f81d/cef28660-0ba0-49d3-9866-287242619896/mario_magnavox_odyssey.jpg Media - Make it stand out Super Mario Odyssey Black & White: The Magnavox Odyssey was the first home video game console. However, without any mechanisms for bounding gameplay rules or tracking score players had to use analog peripherals, their own imagination, and the honor system to play. This project explores an unrealized trajectory of videogame development where the iconic Super Mario was released on the Odyssey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95c82df8370a4bfc01f81d/997ee890-60ee-48d5-8193-d5a7cf05a55e/10%2Bprint%2Bcanvas%2Bv2.jpg Media - Make it stand out The Human Experience of 10 PRINT: A simple iconic line of BASIC code from the Commodore 64, 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10, produces a lovely mazelike image of 1,000 cells in about 40 seconds. Here I present a personal examination of the human effort computational processes represent. Following the same algorithmic logic as the 10 PRINT code, I randomly determined the direction and color of 1,000 brush strokes over 8 hours. https://www.kevinweatherwax.com/10-print daily 0.75 2022-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95c82df8370a4bfc01f81d/997ee890-60ee-48d5-8193-d5a7cf05a55e/10%2Bprint%2Bcanvas%2Bv2.jpg The Human Experience of 10 PRINT - Make it stand out Mixed media human execution of the 10 PRINT program, on a 48x48” canvas.

The prose examines the process and affordances of the original Super Mario through a lens in which gaming never developed to be mediated through computational technology. The entire experience must be administered as collaboration from an inordinate amount of people and physical artifacts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95c82df8370a4bfc01f81d/1643670754859-KE97LVIO8GWQAHMYENVG/Coin+Cards.png Mario Odyssey B&W DIY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95c82df8370a4bfc01f81d/1643670754898-DLSFWITJQLA9V8CM1VEQ/Koopa+Cards.png Mario Odyssey B&W DIY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95c82df8370a4bfc01f81d/1643670761305-GP7OUKLM5IA3EB6YR61I/Mario+Items.png Mario Odyssey B&W DIY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95c82df8370a4bfc01f81d/1643670770262-Y3P7UJPOY07VENM6AM6B/Power+Up+Cards.png Mario Odyssey B&W DIY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a95c82df8370a4bfc01f81d/a73908cf-87c0-46ba-b65c-d15bbe173d02/Mario+Odyssey+B%26W+Cover.png Mario Odyssey B&W DIY - Make it stand out Pamphlet Exterior Cover: Collage logo mashup of print materials from the Magnavox Odyssey and Super Mario Odyssey on the Nintendo Switch. https://www.kevinweatherwax.com/dont-get-glooped-1 daily 0.75 2022-03-16 https://www.kevinweatherwax.com/ultima-5-ever daily 0.75 2022-02-02
