just found this and not sure entirely what it is but i like their dedication to reworking maps of the world

you probably know about ellaguro/liz ryerson already but regardless check out her LOST WORLDS tumblr which is basically a wonderful collection of insanely on-point game criticism (reminiscent of old Mu-Foundation gameblog) and insanely stunning gameworlds (and a lot of jaw-dropping doom wads), all of which would fit perfectly in this thread.

there's not much in games i like better than jumping to a random point in gameplay and being completely unable to discern what's going on

ahaha that's so fitting of a joke.
 

already ran into JG Ballard in this thread, but just n0w found out about his work The Atrocity Exhibition. the wikipedia summary is blowing my mind and i really wanna read it now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atrocity_Exhibition
 

The Atrocity Exhibition is split up into fragments, similar to the style of William S. Burroughs, a writer whom Ballard admired. Burroughs, indeed, wrote the preface to the book. Though often called a "novel" by critics, such a definition is disputed, because all its parts had an independent life. "Why I Want to Fuck Ronald Reagan," for example, had three prior incarnations: in the International Times, in Ronald Reagan: The Magazine of Poetry, and as a freestanding booklet from Unicorn Bookshop, Brighton, all in 1968. All 15 pieces had been printed and some even reprinted before The Atrocity Exhibition was published.
Each chapter/story is split up into smaller sections, some of them labelled by part of a continuing sentence; Ballard has called these sections "condensed novels". There is no clear beginning or end to the book, and it does not follow any of the conventional novelistic standards: the protagonist (such as he is) changes name with each chapter/story (Talbert, Traven, Travis, Talbot, etc.), just as his role and his visions of the world around him seems to change constantly. (Ballard explains in the 1990 annotated edition that the character's name was inspired by reclusive novelist B. Traven, whose identity is still not certainly known.)
 
The stories describe how the mass media landscape inadvertently invades and splinters the private mind of the individual. Suffering from a mental breakdown, the protagonist—ironically, a doctor at a mental hospital—surrenders to a world of psychosis. Traven tries to make sense of the many public events that dominate his world (Marilyn Monroe's suicide, the Space Race, and especially the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy), by restaging them in ways that, to his psychotic mind, gives them a more personal meaning. It is never quite clear how much of the novel "really" takes place, and how much only occurs inside the protagonist's own head. Characters that he kills return again in later chapters (his wife seems to die several times). He travels with a Marilyn Monroe scorched by radiation burns, and with a bomber-pilot of whom he notes that "the planes of his face did not seem to intersect correctly."
 
Inner and outer landscapes seem to merge (a Ballardian speciality), as the ultimate goal of the protagonist is to start World War III, "though not in any conventional sense" – a war that will be fought entirely within his own mind. Bodies and landscapes are constantly confused ("Dr. Nathan found himself looking at what seemed a dune top, but was in fact an immensely magnified portion of the skin area over the iliac crest", "he found himself walking between the corroding breasts of the film-actress", and "these cliff-towers revealed the first spinal landscapes"). At other times the protagonist seems to see the entire world, and life around him, as nothing more than a vast geometrical equation, such as when he observes a woman pacing around the apartment he has rented: "This ... woman was a modulus ... by multiplying her into the space/time of the apartment, he could obtain a valid unit for his own existence."

what a cool bunch of work. is ballard really good? cause i haven't actually read anything by him yet

   Realigning My Thoughts On Jasper Johns


"[ super ][/ super]
The video was created utilizing default software tools to manipulate an entire episode of the Simpsons (season 10, episode 19, "Mom and Pop Art", to be exact).
After ripping all the frames, I used software to turn the ripped images into vectors. Then I processed the files through Illustrator using the default Alignment & Distribution tools (23 different combinations). With the audio, I used a similar process, making a spectrogram image of the audio from each cut in the episode. Then I applied a variety of processes to the image to mimic the alignment/distribution used. Then took the resulting image and turned it back into audio. The result, as you will see is a frenetic mess of sight and sound."

maybe you can appeal to his bourgeois sensibilities with class-blind praise of his outside-the-box thinking and convince him to give you money
