	** This installation pays homage to [[wikipedia:Nam June Paik\|Nam June Paik]]'s ''[https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/9536 Random Access]'', originally displayed in 1963. The original piece asks the audience to create a personal music composition by guiding a playback head across strips of magnetic audiotape on the wall. Lula's interpretation combines this concept of interaction with a "choose your own adventure"-style narrative popularized by the author [[wikipedia:Edward Packard (writer)\|Edward Packard]]. The interactive audioplay is narrated by Lula herself. In parts, the narrative diverges in irreconcilable ways, leaving the viewer to wonder whether what they just heard is factually true. [[Joseph]] and [[Donald]] also appear in the recordings.		** This installation pays homage to [[wikipedia:Nam June Paik\|Nam June Paik]]'s ''[https://www.guggenheim.org/artwork/9536 Random Access]'', originally displayed in 1963.

			The game originally began as a "graphics card test" demo, for players to see whether their computer was capable of running ''Kentucky Route {{Zero}}''. [[Cardboard Computer]] stated in a February 2013 [[newsletter]] that they aimed to "[present] various graphics card features that the game requires as a virtual art gallery."<ref>[http://kentuckyroutezero.com/pub/newsletter-archive/2013-feb-krz-feb-13-newsletter-limits-demonstrations.html KRZ Feb.
