Never really heard of the game, but the October issue of Edge pointed to a trailer/vid created in Trackmania Sunrise, a PC racing game. The vid is essentially the cumulative replay of ~1000 cars through the track. While there is certainly a tech fetishism aspect to it, it is just darn cool and artful. Mesmerizing really. The Moby music adds to the experience as well :)
Makes be think of one of the quotes from the 8 BIT documentary trailer: “…when somethings part of your everyday life, you’re gonna make art about it.” Hopefully I’ll get to catch a screening of that flic…
