I Shot Andy Warhol

I Shot Andy WarholI’m really starting to enjoy revisiting & reentering items into the Avant Game List. Analogously it has been like taking a picture of something, and then forgetting that that thing continues to live/evolve after the picture was taken.

In that light, it has been interesting to see how Cory Arcangel’s I Shot Andy Warhol changed since I last took a look at it. The game itself hasn’t changed, but the popular knowledge of the game has. It has garnered a decent number of blog posts over the last year- most likely precipitated by a YouTube video showing game footage.

What I find most interesting is that I Shot Andy Warhol now seems to be totally absent from Cory Arcangel’s website. I wonder what caused this- I believe that it used to be there, but I might be wrong.

Regardless, I Shot Andy Warhol has been added to the Avant Gaming List.
