Oikospiel Book I – Cane and Rinse no.652

“It is the year 1999, and our game development House, Koch Games, has been hired by The Oikospielen Opera to adapt the novel Tristram Shandy, into a computer ‘eco opera’ for a fee of infinity.”

This week, Cane and Rinse is on strike! It is your choice whether you will salt or scab. Follow Ryan, Chris, James and Jon into the perplexing but provocative pillar of the modern videogame avant-garde, David Kanaga’s enigmatic Oikospiel Book I. They discuss abstraction, labour rights, plunderludics, and whether or not it is ethical to make dogs write operas. It’s an unusual podcast for an unusual game.

Music featured in this issue:

1. Menu Hotel Elegy by David Kanaga
2. First Choir Union by David Kanaga
