“RatEat. RatDie.” is a sound piece I created while working through the complexities and contradictions of inhabiting space online. The physical body has a very specific relationship to modern technology, and RatEat.RatDie. explores the intersection of and boundaries between the two.
The work begins with music from the video game Deus Ex (2000), and utilizes more sound bites from the game throughout the rest of the work. This game deals with similar ideas of the crossover between technology and the body.
RatEat.RatDie. explores gender identity, as well as the themes of human versus beast and human versus droid.
The worm is doing a little dance.
