Datafighters is an interactive installation that explores the relationship between art and videogames. Through a wiimote, you can play a horizontal shoot’em up which produces sound in real time. Every enemy, in fact, enables or disables the step of a sequencer of 8 steps and 5 tracks. Through the game, reproposing the typical videogame’s style of the Eighties, player creates music, making this act uncertain but interactive.
Going over debate whether the game is art or not, we believe that the game may be considered a tool for art creation, like other software used with same aim.
