I remember feeling a bit confused about the purpose of Cory ArcAngel’s Super Mario Clouds piece at the Whitney Museum. Because I forgot to read the description, it remained in my head as a bit of an oddity- a seemingly outdated relic. After seeing the short documentary that detailed the project’s purpose and claim, my skepticism grew. ArcAngel’s work was known as an open-source project that hacked into a game and deleted all elements of the game, besides the clouds. However, the documentary tests ArcAngel’s process and discovers that the Super Mario Clouds very obviously differs from the result of simply removing everything but the clouds. I think the additional research does change the work for me because ironically, the artist no longer seems credible.
