Game Art: Josh Parkins' "I Have Three Lives" (2010)

"When you play a video game you get to be a big burly superhero or a mighty warrior or a badass spaceship. You get to laugh at mortality and taunt temporality with your prowess. The prowess of your avatar contrasts the perceived cultural lameness of your real identity. You are tasked with a series of repetitive inane tasks to complete in pixel-land. Your avatar of awesomeness comes with a price after all." (Johs parkins)
