04 FRATE EXQUIS:
This mobile app creates an absurd game out of USDA data on fruit and vegetable production in the US, by state. FRATE EXQUIS makes banal data both available and interactive to a wider audience. Sourcing data from USDA, the dataset includes fruit production by state, and the acreage of that production.
The visual format of the game takes inspiration from the exquisite corpse. Typically, a head, torso and bottom are swtiched/flipped
around to create unique hybrids. FRATE EXQUIS creates hybrid creatures by generating the state that corresponds to the fruit that’s
picked or vice versa depending on which card is touched.
