I really liked I Shot Andy Warhol which he made by modding Hogan’s Alley on a Nintendo cartridge. In the game, the player has to shoot Andy Warhol and avoid hitting the Pope, Flavor Flav and Colonel Sanders. Other pieces on show were:
Colors where he plays the film Colors one line of pixels at a time
a couple thousand short films about Glenn Gould which uses YouTube clips of amateur musicians to recreate Bach’s Goldberg Variations
Sans Simon which is a video where he edited out Paul Simon by covering up the singer with his hand
Two Keystone Projectors which is 2 projectors who have had their displays distorted by altering their keystoning and displaying the blue screen normally seen when a VCR is empty
The Bruce Springsteen Glockenspiel Addendum which is a remix of Springsteen’s Born to Run album with added glockenspiel. The whole remix was given away free at the exhibition.

Have a look at the Quicktime video but if it’s something you’re interested in, check out their website coz there’s links to the hardware and software they used and one of the sites has some tutorials.
