Action Half Life

There were huge photomontages of Action Half Life at the Brucknerhaus during Ars Electronica. This photografic travesty mixes the pictoral worlds of Hollywood and computer games in an attempt to create the illusion of a “clean war”. The lead characters are played by teens in the Sinai desert (not far from the areas where the Star Wars series were made). Their weapons are replicas of those killing machines that have been well-tested and proven in previous virtual wars.
