Thinking about the culture built around technology and online tools, Jumpman? pays homage to early iterations of video games that I am not old enough to remember. With the internet came the ability to purchase and play games immediately without ever having to leave home. A far cry from when arcades and pay-to-play machines were popular. With ease of access comes the inevitable obsolescence once content is consumed, but not in a material, tangible way. Like forgotten toys: video games, their stories, and characters remain in stasis and left to dust as their physical computers and consoles wither in favour of even newer technologies.
