Description
"Untitled Game is a set of modifications, or 'mods,' of the video game Quake 1. JODI made the piece by altering the graphics of Quake as well as the software code that makes it work and recognised as an art form. Their mods reduced the complex graphics of Quake 1 to the bare minimum, aiming for maximum contrast between the complex soundscapes and the minimal visual environment.

The game engine generates the swirling effect on its background, as it continuously tries, and fails, to visualise the interior of a cube lined with black-and-white wallpaper.
