Jason's Works

After having a look through some of Jason’s work on secrettechnology.com, I found myself completely confused and intrigued. I was confused because I didn’t really see the big interest in his work and intrigued because it’s interesting to think about how he would have done that or come up with some of the ideas. Jason was right when he said that his work was weird and hard to understand because I didn’t make sense of the three works I watched.
These were:
This is/isn’t a pandemic flu
Evil hypnotizing mascots
And Alarmingly these are not lovesick zombies
All of these works had interaction, changing audio and disturbing images. The first one, This is/isn’t a pandemic flu was about how people are so uptight in regards to pandemics and epidemics. So in this one, Jason gives the flu to the viewer and in a series of disturbing images, phrases and audio freak them out.
Evil hypnotizing mascots consisted of distorted images and audio to give them impression that you were being hypnotized. It came up with random phrases that were confusing and creepy.
Alarmingly these are not lovesick zombies was a game where you had to shoot the zombies and try to advance onto other levels. I didn’t get past level one but to my discomfort, there were after death levels… Creepy.
