""F**k You, Buddy" is a visual and dramatic fusion of “game theory” (a mathematical attempt to pre­dict human behaviour) and the dramaturgical development in computer games over the last decade. From the totalitarian collectivism in games like “Lem­mings” to the anarchistic indi­vidualism in “GTA”. “F**k you, Buddy” is a performance for the sake of the game, a game about winning at any cost and about being born inherently selfish....or?
