Game Art: Keith Lam's "Moving Mario" (2008)

A radical rethinking of Super Mario Bros.' scrolling feature. In Keith Lam's Moving Mario, a game mechanic becomes truly mechanical. This work received an Honorary Mention at Ars Electronica 2008. As Lam writes:

By grabbing partial concept and some of the key elements behind the TV game development, Moving Mario is trying to challenge some of the traditional game elements. Throughout the gaming process, players can rethink the relationship between the player and the game.
