Artist Statement, about your piece
Inferno 2.0 is a French and an English glitch biblical poetry (GBP) built based on the Judeo-christian teachings about sinners' eternity.
It is inspired specifically by the epistles of St. Paul to the Galatians 5 :20-21, to the Corinthians 6 :9-10(first letter),to the Romans 6 :21,23, the Gospel according to St. Mathew 5 :22 and Saint Luke 17 :37 and Dante's Divine Comedy.
Sin leads to hell fire for wherever the carcass is,
there will the eagles be gathered together.
The Judeo-christian's Yahweh shows his power and anger in the old-times by thunderbolt and earthquakes to punish the sinners.
This digital poetry points to the wages of sin is death in the hell fire.
Hence, the title "Inferno 2.0". This game poetry is countering the concepts and philosophy of Dante Alighieri's poems-Purgatario and Inferno in the Divine Comedy. There is no Purgatory because there is no trace of it in the Holy Bible. There's only one Hell fire.
Therefore, no one that goes into the Hell Fire will be able to be saved.
It is played or read by hovering, straining looking on each glitch and clicking on each glitch word with an intention to save sinners out of the hell fire. Then, hear and see the behaviour of the glitch.
Inferno 2.0. can also be called digital glitch
biblical poetry(DGBP) and digital sound poetry, a sub-genre of the Biblical Digital poetry (BDP) and e-poetry and Web based game.
