I want to make work on the internet while it’s still there — JODI —

I went to a talk at Goldsmiths by artists JODI. The piece of work that struck me most was the mobile game they developed called .ZYX. The game makes use of the sensors in the users phone, the accelerometer, the gyroscope etc. as interaction devices. In order to get to the next level, the player must for example spin around clockwise 10 times, or hold the phone still on top of their head for 2 minutes.

I'm fairly convinced this game is brilliant in some conceptual way, if not very easy. Not seen much like it before. In browser. Tick. Robots. Tick. Time travel (in game and not just a theme). Tick. Do make sure you read the instructions though or you'll break your own head.
