A Quantum of Wobble, with Robin Baumgarten

ETAO Podcast, Episode 50.

Robin Baumgarten’s work doesn’t fit neatly into any single category or tradition. He makes games that are also toys, and also art installations, and also unusually beguiling lamps, and also—most straightforward to experience, most difficult to describe—simply objects that make the world a little stranger a little more beautiful whenever and wherever you encounter them.

In this episode, Robin wobbles on over to talk about Line Wobbler, Wobble Garden, Quantum Garden, and all the weird questions that they raise about what the hell games and art and arcades and galleries even are at this point in history.

Wolfenstein 1D is a good’n.

• As is Get Lamp.

• And as is Two Bit Circus.

• Also, here’s that piece on the perils of social media vanity, and the scored-earth modes of consumption attendant thereto. I should mention that this story as continued developing, and taken a fairly dark turn between the recording and the release of my interview with Robin.
