Postcards from the Tides of Time #38

Collection

Works by Sabato Visconti

Description

*Ecco the Dolphin: C a t a c l y s m* reimagines the classic Sega Genesis game, *Ecco: The Tides of Time* as a parable for the Anthropocene told through a series of postcards and looping animated GIFs. Works were created by glitching ROM files of the 1994 game, recording the ensuing game performances, and crafting looping videos from these recordings. *Ecco: The Tides of Time* was the sequel to *Ecco the Dolphin*, a game franchise that has earned a cult reputation for its unique graphics (designed by László Szenttornyai and Ed Annunziata) and post-human storyline, influenced by John C. Lilly's controversial research with psychedelics and dolphins. In *Ecco the Dolphin: C a t a c l y s m*, the threat of an alien invasion has given way to ecological collapse and the resulting collective chaos, exemplified through endless glitches and corrupted gameplay mechanics.
