Description
JODI's Untitled Street Legal is a gameplay-generated movie—set within the open-world 3D racing game Street Legal. As player's vehicle sharply turns, accelerates, and brakes at the same time, it creates a theoretically perfect spiral while generating skid marks upon the virtual terrain.

The result is analogous to the structural tradition of avant-garde film, by the inherent vice of randomly-generated digital incident inscribed within the game's code. Untitled provides a pure, hypnotic visual pleasure on determination and chance within uncanny virtual worlds.
