Continuity Game - http://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2011/talktome/objects/140000c/

I really enjoyed this piece because of the two layers of interactivity Guy brought into. Not only is it a puzzle game but it also an action game as well, as you run and jump to grab different items. There are two challenges in the game. Not only do you have to grab the key and find the exit but before you that you must rearrange the tiles in order for you to get the pathway you need to find this key. I could see myself playing this game for hours, trying to figure out the puzzle and get to the next level.

This piece particularly intrigued and interested me because of the utilization of the Processing software, a software that I am familiar with and have used in a previous class. I knew of Processing's wide capabilities but the way that Cruz utilized the program was astonishing. Different colored lines and thicknesses meant different things about the 1,534 taxis making their rounds through Lisbon. Warmer colors indicating slower traffic while cooler colors representing traffic moving faster. I never thought that you could represent such ordinary data like taxi route patterns and traffic information into such a great data visualization piece.

Wow who would have even fathomed a chess piece could be some type of sexual object? Well this guy Olivier did calling it a "sex mind game." I think if I were to play this chess game, I wouldn't be able to focus because my attention would be so much on looking at each piece and trying to figure out what it resembles.
