LA-based academic Aidan Strong built Texturetown – an algorithmically remixed MMO assembled from the assets of defunct mid-2000s children's online games. Club Penguin, Pirates of the Caribbean Online, and other long-dead servers get mashed together into one eerie, broken world.
The project sits alongside a growing genre of videogame collages – think Funi Racoon or Water Level/b.l.u.e. EXPLORATION, which blends Dark Souls, Super Mario 64, and Kingdom Hearts into a single space. Texturetown works as a Backrooms-style memorial to abandoned servers and the childhood experiences that once lived on them.
