Long-time FAD favourites Auriea Harvey (entropy8.com) and Michaël Samyn (zuper.com), working as Entropy8Zuper! , have at last released the final chapter in their Godlove Museum project, Deuteronomy. Like previous works in the series, Deuteronomy draws upon intensely personal aspects of the couple’s relationship, but uses Biblical stories and metaphors to place those aspects within the context of contemporary global events.
At the same time, E8Z! have patched the damage caused by technological “progress”, which has rendered their earlier .net art pieces inoperable, and they have released the entire Godlove Museum as a standalone application (available for PC or Mac). For just €20 you can own one of the earliest and most wonderfully baroque of interactive artworks. The original online Godlove Museum files have also been given a spectacular new interface, “the Entropy8Zuper! Retrospective”, that puts each chapter in its historical context.
A press release concerning this launch can be found here.
In 2002, FAD published an article to celebrate the launch of the previous chapter in the Godlove series, Numbers. We have reprinted that article here , as it gives a fuller overview of the couple, their artistic partnership, and our particular obsession with their work.
