my computer mother

I UPLOADED IT ON ITCH.IO !!! https://maremantis.itch.io/my-computher-mother



I tried out Zines for the first time. This was made with Eletric Zine Maker. I was really just experimenting but I promise the imagery means something. Imagine having to explain to an immaculate, impartial cold machine that you feel pain. That the electricity sustaining it is also capable of hurting. 

"Finding mother a gift is hard

I'm scared of bringing her real flowers

Mother is scared of death

So I give her the fake ones

Mother thinks roses never die"

Imagine having to explain death to a machine.

It has never felt pain


I came up with this allegory when I was on the floor and leaning agaist my floor fan. bzzzzz!!! it was somehow comforting. it complimented the silence. then i remembered this game that executes the idea of angels being like computers, radio waves as god communicating to us, the static. also present in this beautiful game i love it so much. i might to an itch.io collection of games with weird representations of god and religious trauma overall. i love them.
