Game Art: Matthieu Cherubini's "Afghan War Diary" (2010)

'The website connects to a Counter-Strike's server - which is an online war game - and retrieves in real-time frags (when a player kills another). These frags trigger a search by chronological order in the Wikileaks database: Afghan War Diary, which contains over 75,000 secret US military reports covering the war in Afghanistan - the majority of these are lethal military actions involving the United States military -. According to the retrieved data, the website shows the location of the attack on Google Earth. The story of the war in Afghanistan is thus generated by the virtual killings done by the Counter-Strike's players." (Mathieu Cherubini)
