Virtual Photography Art Exhibit
A downloadable book
Lovingly curated & edited Community Videogame Screenshot Art, and my 'Noclip' Virtual Photography.
Version 2.0, updated & expanded.
3937 bizarrely Hyperreal* images, 8.3GB, .jxl (jpeg-xl) format - mostly 90% quality at Effort 9. Recommend Nomacs image viewer, quick and stable, works on Macs - and XL Converter for converting to .jpg (https://codepoems.eu/xl-converter/)
This free internet art exhibit exists for purposes of philosophical critique, historical archiving / digital archaeology. All credit where applicable to the videogame screenshort art community.
* As in Jean Baudrillard, and Guy Debord's The Spectacle

Note: lousy A.I.-based photo sharpening software was used during this project on several images. (It's definitely kinda-noticeable which ones.) This was before I was fully aware of the inherent lies, stupidity + evil of Generative A.I. and Big Tech. While I regret using a tool which I now understand is entirely based on the stolen art & unpaid labor of fellow artists - and whole anonymous armies of overseas Gig Economy wage slaves used to tag and filter data - I no longer use such tech, and encourage all artists to actively fight back against their widespread (forced!) adoption. #Unionize
