Beta Release
Transit is the beta version of my remix hack game called Fuck The Meritocracy, which aims to make players consider all types of different privileges they have in life. There are a wide variety of privileges covered, from the college you attend to race to gender and sexuality. However, there is only one card that…

Flog #12
Because of the technical difficulty I experienced with Davidson Domains last weekend, I was not able to post my flog. This flog is going to talk about my failures making the Remix hack. My remix focuses on comparing Luigi Mangione’s (proposed) sentence to the death penalty with the lack of the death penalty in other…

Justice For All? Hack #4: Remix
The source material in my remix video titled “Justice for all?” is clips from news broadcasts where the news anchor explicitly states a criminal’s sentence. Since the crimes I chose were recent (past ten years) I broke the rule of including source material from three different time periods. My critique is based on current events…

Flog #10
I’m finally up to date on my flogs, I apologize for having some late flogs but life has been crazy and I’ve finally got back on my feet. This week I am still having trouble coming up with ideas for the flog. I decided against doing the commentary on old diet culture vs. today’s diet…

Flog #9
I’m having a really hard time coming up with an idea for my next hack after it was released. I was thinking of doing a video comparing diet culture from the past to the more acceptable forms of diet culture today. Or, instead of diet culture, weight loss methods more broadly. There are plenty of…

Flog #8
This week was not very eventful. I have been bad about staying up to date with the flogs, so that is my main failure. I am catching up with them now, and I should only have two more until I am fully caught up. The subject matter this week was interesting and engaging, and I…

Artist Statement #3
My project is an automated email generator that sends emails to the “Department” of Government Efficiency. A few weeks ago, Elon Musk, the person appointed to lead DOGE, sent out an email to all federal employees asking them to respond with five things they did in the last week. Musk later tweeted that failure to…

Flog #5
This Tuesday we presented our second hack. I mainly struggled with two things when it came to developing this hack. First, I had a really hard time figuring out which board game was best to convey the idea because I actually never played chutes and ladders as a child. I thought of all the board…

Flog #4
My main failure for this week was in my brainstorming for Hack #2. At first, I wanted to make a statement about the United States’ “Prevention Through Deterrence” immigration policy. This is a policy that essentially forces migrants through the Sonoran Desert by increasing the number of border patrol officers at checkpoints. The idea is…

Artist Statement #2
For my second hack, I chose to redress the popular children’s game “Chutes and Ladders” to a game called “Fuck the Meritocracy.” You move forward in the game by first drawing cards with movement instructions. Each card also has a small blurb about a privilege statement. For example, “I got into an elite college that…
