without some degree of apprehension, I thought I’d share this
project titled <i>Perception at the End of the World, or How
Not to Play Video Games</i>, which has just come out in the
Flugschriften series. Engaging with post-apocalyptic landscapes,
image-making and ways in which we see the world, it’s something
I’ve been working on for a while now, but its publication has
coincided with the current set of events. It takes the form of
an artbook-style pamphlet containing an essay and a series of
images, and features design by the brilliant Felipe Mancheno. </span></p>

embracing and eliding the experience of mediation, [video game
environments stage] worldliness for us as a mobile task to
explore and engage with, with our eyes, hands, brains, and
bodies all participating in seeing and/as doing… Life can thus
also be redescribed as an ongoing process of navigating
between cinema and photography, with image-making becoming a
mode of world-making, for gamers and non-gamers alike.” </span></i><span

by Dominic Pettman (New School) and Carla Nappi (Pittsburgh), <i>Flugschriften
</i>rekindles the long tradition of 16th-century pamphlets – or
‘flying writings’ – giving heterodox, experimental, challenging
writings a pair of wings with which to find like-minded readers.
<i>Flugschriften </i>publishes short, sharp shocks to the
system – whether this be the political system, literary system,
academic system, or human nervous system. </span></p>
