THE PARADOX BEHIND DEEP BLUE
1997-98
CD-ROM created with Macromedia Director

This CD-ROM was my final project requirement for the completion of the four-year program at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art Visuel (ESAV) of Geneva. It was prepared under the supervision of Julie Ault, an artist from New York who teaches at ESAV. The project is about computer chess and how it relates to technology and reality. The idea originated with my interest in the highly mediatic chess match that took place in the spring of 1998 between Garry Kasparov, the world chess champion, and Deep Blue, the chess computer sponsored by IBM.
