There’s A Swastika In The Basement And I Don’t Know How To Remove It
A downloadable parable
no smart academic quote today, because
there’s a swastika in the basement and i don’t know how to remove it.
a short political artwork created very spontaneously between august 28th & august 29th/30th on occasion of the state elections in thuringia on september 1st 2024. this artwork is about trying to remove a swastika from a basement wall, getting increasingly unhinged along the way. because i didn’t want to reproduce this symbol, and also because of german laws of course, this ludopolitical artwork shows an x instead of an actual swastika.
(when even i am doing an explicit political artwork, and even i as an ancom am rooting for capitalist democracy, you know that stuff is fücking serious.)
this artwork runs in the browser, but downloadable builds are provided as well. this is probably the smallest ludic artwork of mine (in folder size) yet.
(the "nazi sounds from the basement" that you can hear in the background are extracted from a 1936 recording of a nazi military parade. models and soundrecordings etc were all created by myself, using additional soundfiles via pixabay.)
