1. Introduction
   1. Introduction to Subverting Game Production Tools: Three Virtual Installations
   2. I want to explore whether computers, generally used as production tools, can instead become equal partners in conceptual art through the use of AI, algorithms, and the manipulation of how digital conveyance of ‘the image’ changes it into a unique digital artifact.
   3. I hope to help others understand how this ‘digitization’ of found art influences their own sense of aesthetics by reflecting on space, time, and shared experiences within the boundaries of an installation; themes explored in more traditional land art and postmodernist installation art.
   4. I am working to make conceptual artwork using a digital collage, generative art, and then constructing virtual installation pieces using game design tools.
