UKI-a viral game??

UKI is conceived in TWO parts??

(1)UKI, live cinema live coding - artist residency at Hangar, barcelona, spring , 2009?

Project summary??
UKI as a viral game sets up an evil GENOM corporation who takes hostage of human body/bodies to set up (after the net-crash) BIONET. The BIONET reformats erythrocytes (red blood cells) as computing units to reprogram and generate ORGANISMO (Organic Orgasmo) which promises self-fulfilled, self-contained orgasm that bypasses needs for human body interaction. UKI, the virus, borne out of E-trashscape, takes up the mission to infiltrate GENOM’s BIONET, to stop ORGANISMO production and reclaim the Original human orgasm.??

Project description??UKI (a viral game in development) is made up of 4 levels/timeframe:?

Level 1: Infecting Public – the multification of UKI virus – the virusRus. ?
Level 2: Mobilize Virus UKI – the launch of UKI virus – plug in - suck my code.
Level 3: Enter the Bionet – let the battle begins – there will be blood.?
Level 4: Orgasmo Colectivo - End game with no end.??

UKI is a sequel to my scifi cult film I.K.U. http://www.i-k-u.com (produced by Tokyo’s Uplink Co., premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2000). I.K.U. sets up Genom as Netsex data empire which dispatches IKU (orgasm in Japanese) coders to collect human orgasm data. Made into I.K.U. chips for mobilephone plug in,Genom introduced orgasm on the go and made a huge profit. The year 2030 brings down the NET, GENOM retreats to human body and makes up BIONET for yet another orgasm scheme, producing ORGANISMO. The IKU coders from I.K.U. after sex data retrieved were dumped at E-trashscape where they trade sex for codes to maintain somehow a human form. UKI, borne out of E-trashscape, emerges as infectious virus. UKI, the virus en masse, takes up the mission to stop the Genom’s production and reclaim the orgasmo.??
