"gary's crucifixion" reexamines a painting I made in 2010 through the lens of interactive art. The painting was a classical renaissance style painting of a crucifixion scene painted on a triptych, where the subjects are from a video game "Half Life." To adapt this painting into a interactive art piece, I used "Gary's Mod" that allows gamers to play "Half Life" in a sandbox mode so you can build whatever you want. I reconstructed the crucifixion scene from the painting and then developed a natural user interface that allows viewers to walk around the crucifixion scene.
