GENESIS ↗ (2023) was remade for BitBash 2024 ↗ as a head-tracked rhythmic rail-shooter. We traced Rez's ↗ (2001) cyberspace aesthetics back to their genesis in Chicago's technology and art scenes: Set to Phuture's genre-defining Acid Tracks ↗ (1985), GENESIS reimagines the Electronic Visualization Laboratory's 3D vector graphics for Star Wars ↗ (1977), which inspired countless vector-based games ↗. It incorporates head-tracking techniques derived from EVL's CAVE ↗ system (1992), a VR precursor. GENESIS builds upon this heritage to recover technological wonder. Made with Charles Voita ↗ and Bill Derrah ↗.
