playing, listening, remaking

secret link example

Well, in terms of how my project involves my audience, ideally, I would like to have some submissions for pieces in order to make it a more collaborative project with differing points of views, but that likely would’ve required some more advertising. Although I did get a comment on the BlueSky page I made trying to advertise the project a little, which di make me feel better since it was somebody trying to engage with the material. Otherwise, the projects intractability through its links and easter eggs are where most of the audience involvement comes in as it’s an element of the project that is unseen without effort from the viewer,  it requires audience input to do more than what than what is available on the home page and archive. The reason for this is to act as reward for viewers who take the time to engage with the website and hover over things in an age where the internet is simultaneously service/ scam, because of that there’s little room for artistic websites in an internet filled with pop ups and having to provide accessibility a a tool rather than an art piece. But by very nature of the internet, it becomes impossible to hold on to things forever, I could hold on to all the code and files on my website to hold onto for the future but whos to say there won’t be an internet where individual websites are eliminated entirely for hubs of social media, a little dystopic sure but, just in a universe where even being able to preserve my work on this site is impossible how would one go about recreating it? I’d say, more important than trying to capture what was said, it would be better to capture the spirit of the idea through something like zines or even a real physical club that one can go to, if secret game club is an idea it’s not one limited to a website it’s one about the love for gaming and it’s community, and those will always exist I think.
