nybble-engine-toolz4anti-war, a radical meta-art system shooter
from game-engine modifications to experimental setups in emergence.

A nybble is the unit of half a byte, or four bits, which is the basis of
every digital conversion. As the numeric equivalent of binary code, it
exemplifies the internal logic of software that transforms codes and
protocols on a server into various representations.

The definition of engine as algorithmic machine is our discoursive
startingpoint. Software texts as game-engines are reflected. The work
focuses on the differenciations and theories of the machinic towards the
actual status of the machine as engine in coding-cultures.
The kernel of the experiment (installation) is a game-engine modification.
With each shoot an anti-war mail is comissioned. Broadcast messages inside
the live generated visual coded environment display realtime network
activities from outside the engine. By a press on another gamepad button a
ping is started to a different crucial gov.server. By moving inside the
engine the rules are inverted: the tournament is situationist tournement:
attack is collaboration, shoot is communication, playing is editing code!

Nybble-engine-toolz by Margarete Jahrmann/Max Moswitzer was developed in
cooperation with the V2_lab Rotterdam and installed at the exhibition
"metadata" at the Dutch Electronic Arts Festival03 in February 2003.
