Game Art: Tom "nullpointer" Betts' "QQQ (2002) + recent lecture (2010)

"‘QQQ’ is an ambitious project, working with cutting edge technology and contemporary gaming culture. The work has developed from a series of game modifications that span the history of computer game development. Ever since the first home computers played host to primitive games there has been a culture of modification. In many cases the aim of this manipulation is cheating (the infamous POKE commands of the 8bit era), but for some people the ability to modify or hack a game meant the opportunity to expand it’s horizons, to allow greater and more abstract possibilities into the code." (Tom Betts, 2002)
