A new game called Solitaire Alone Together remixes classic Windows 98 solitaire by allowing players to watch others play online simultaneously, creating a social yet isolated experience. Created for Rhizome's 30th anniversary exhibition opening September 21st, the work explores contrasts between the optimistic early web and today's lonely, omnipresent internet culture.
An artist created Solitaire Alone Together, a multiplayer version of Windows 98 solitaire for Rhizome's 30th anniversary exhibition. Players can watch others play online but cannot interact, capturing the paradox of modern internet culture as simultaneously social and isolating.
