Game Art: Eddo Stern's "RUNNERS: Wolfenstein" (2002)
"A site specific installation created for the EXPLORA show in Tel Aviv in May 2002, RUNNERS: Wolfenstein recontextualized the a popular WW2 computer game allowing Israeli players to invade Nazi Germany and attack Nazi soldiers on three large projections. Three modified iterations of the war fantasy game “Return to Castle Wolfenstein” are controlled simultaneously through a re-wired game joystick interface." (Eddo Stern)
More than a decade since its debut, Stern's RUNNERS: Wolfenstein is as fresh and powerful as ever. A playable counter-histories with a powerful political message.
