Inspired by the graphics of Leisure-Suit-Larry (1987), Average Shoveler (2004-05 Rhizome.org at The New Museum commission) is an online game challenging the boundaries between photo, paintings and short movie. The location is the NYC’s East Village. It’s snowing, and you have to keep your way cleaned. Each flake of snow contains an image taken live from Yahoo’s news feed while people tell you top stories in cartoon bubble gathered from the same sources. All this is set to music composed by Gabriel Yared, award-winning composer of scores for movies such as The English Patient and Cold Mountain.
