Description Using contemporary performance, puppetry and machinima animation, Computer Boy iscreated within the 3D virtual environment of sandbox-style games like Grand Theft Auto, and evokes our culture'™s anxiety about a younger generation'™s increasing immersion in - and dependence on - virtual worlds. With an original score made with video game consoles by renowned electronic composer DJ TR!P, Computer Boy is a sensationalised popular media story about the cult of youth degeneracy.
