Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Starrs_Cmielewski_biotek Title A name given to the resource Bio Tek Kitchen Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Starrs, Josephine Cmielewski, Leon Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1999 Description An account of the resource Bio Tek Kitchen takes the form of a first person role playing game, deploying both the pixelated aesthetics and simple but multiple narrative outcomes of early video games. The work playfully engages with many of the tropes of bio-art at the time, which critically interrogated biotechnology and its impact on public IP and agricultural workers, highlighted by the contemporaneous work of artists such as CAE, (Critical Art Ensemble) and Eduardo Kac. In Bio Tek Kitchen a first person 'shooter' uses 'weapons' that are domestic rather military to 'clean up' rather than create mess. In so doing the work not only engages with the politics of biotechnology also deploys and flips multiple early gaming conventions.

Presented as a game, players were assigned tribes before playing. Each tribe is represented by its own distinctive iconography and has its own role and goals: escape, defend, petition, colonise, wander, converge.

GGGAG is a digital poem, game, and anti-design statement. The western world's surroundings, belief systems, designed culture-games, create the built illusion of clean lines and definitive choice, cold narrow pathways of five colours, three body sizes and capsule philosophy. Within new media art the techno-filter extends these straight lines into exacting geometries and smooth bit rates. This game attempts to re-introduce the hand-drawn, the messy and illogical into the digital, via a retro-game. Hovering above and attached to the poorly drawn aesthetic is a personal examination of how we/I continually switch and un-switch our dominate belief systems. Moving from faith to real estate, from chemistry to capitalism, triggering corrected poetry, jittering creatures and death and deathless noises.
