Take Ogre

"In John Pat McNamara's remix of Nick Montfort's Taroko Gorge, the gorge becomes an ogre, a shadow self haunting a fantasy-driven reinterpretation. The work holds many echoes of classic medieval high fantasy as well as of Dungeons and Dragons, with nouns including player, knight, queen, magician, sage, banshee, and, of course, ogre. The background of the piece invites us to contemplate the creative process, depicting a cluttered work desk filled with papers, books, and disks in front of a window at night. A laptop is prominently featured and displays only the same picture of the desk, echoing forward through infinite repetitions of the screen-within-a-screen." -- from Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 3
