THE NEW INTERACTIVE EROTICA

My proposal, in this essay, is to seek a fundament to David Cronenberg’s movie eXistenZ, not merely as a game, but also as an interactive work of art. I take as plausible the director’s presupposition that a game programmer may be an artist. And it is also my belief that the images of eXistenZ suggest the uncanny condition of what I call a new interactive art.
