[Trailhead?] secrettechnology.com

I got this odd email a few hours ago, and it leads to a very weird site. The funny thing is too, the to: field in the email ISN"T my email address, but rather appears to be an address for a guy by the name of Jason Nelson, who is featured on secretttechnology.com Here is the email as I received it:

Hope you world is more than curious.

I have some semi-newly birthed digital artworks/poems inspired by
Australian locales to spread out across the net. And of course feel free to
critique and/or send to anyone everywhere.

T: sydney's sibera
D: an interactive and infinitely zooming digital poem

T: Birds Still Warm from Flying
D: an interactive/re-creatable poetry cube

T: wittenoom and the cancerous breeze
D: digital poem created from ten sections
http://www.secrettechnology.com/wittenoom/starthere.html

again and as always you rock and cheers, Jason Nelson

oh and if you hate getting these, let me know and I'll remove you (sounds
ominous doesn't it)

brain...hurts...


Don't know what to make of that, myself. Could very well be a new independent 'digital artist' trying to make a name for himself... I have no idea. My brain needs a bit of time to return to the normal world first.

I think that is a possibility, but there is some weird stuff written in some of those, not to mention, I'm not sure how he got my address, I used to use that box for ARG's, though recently, I've been using a different one.

Just a piece of web-art, no game.

game?

dunno if it's a game but someone went to a lot of trouble to make this. Whatever it is it's got a purpose. Kudos to the art if not a game.

It's wonderful whatever it is. It reminds me of badscaryplace/silverladder from the future.

I filled out the contact response form and got this

Wow, someone spent a ton of time on this site.

I don't think the artwork is so cool (It's mostly paintbrush...) as is the cleverness of it all which is astounding.

I played through the flash game (not in the email but whatever), http://www.secrettechnology.com/madethis/enemy6.html and got another email address as a "reward". Just sent an email asking if it was an ARG. Yeah I know I like to bend rules.

I got the same email, and worried for a minute that I was being opted-in to another ARG, but then I remembered:

http://www.secrettechnology.com/artgames.html

I played his art games before, which is how he has my address. He's sent me updates before. They're formatted a bit oddly, which is in keeping with the whole artistic bent to the website and his games.

I kinda doubt that there's really anything ARGish here, but yeah, I played one of his art games back in December of '08.
