Description

Deleted Pippin Barr Game is a collaboration with boringcactus (Melody Horn) inspired by Robert Rauschenberg’s famous erasure of a Willem de Kooning drawing in 1953. The current project involved boringcactus deleting a game I made piece by piece. Both the idea and actual deletion work is by boringcactus.

The game now no longer exists on my computer locally, is not backed up, and I have deleted the GitHub repository where it used to live. It is gone. I did write a couple of blog posts about the game while I was making it, though, and you can read those right here:

• New Project: You Are Not Here
• You Are Not Here When You’re There

Also check out the source code of the project in boringcactus’ cloned repository of the original game, and especially read the commit history to see the deletion process in detail.
