MAXlive 2021: The Neuroverse is made possible by the support of Science Sandbox, an initiative of the Simons Foundation, MAX’s generous donors, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Special Thanks to The Office, Integrated Media and Design Department, NYU and Paul Weiss.

We’re presenting two new videos by MAXmachina artist Grayson Earle, looking under the hood of code mysteries. The second video of the series Why Don’t the Cops Fight Each Other? is an attempt to modify the popular video game Grand Theft Auto. By hacking the game’s source code it is possible to change the rules of this real world simulation to an incredible extent. It is the rules within the system that are immutable that are the most revealing.

Watch the first video in the series, “Usefulness of a Useless Neural Network” here: https://youtu.be/txRlYpAJgp8
