Arteroids

Jim Andrews

Arteroids is a game in which the player's task is to cut up, blow apart, and disassemble poetry. In the game, these actions are metaphors for what the artist describes as the battle of poetry against itself and the forces of dullness. Breaking up sentences is a popular technique in poetry, and often used to critique existing language suggest new meanings.
