Texturetown (2026)

Amalgam MMO Game Installation

Texturetown is an altered version of Disney Interactive's childrens' MMO Toontown. It runs the original source code of the Toontown, but replaces the original game assets with random ones from other defunct childrens' MMOS.

The replaced text is from Club Penguin, sound from Pirates of the Caribbean Online, and textures from Cartoon Network's FusionFall.

Texturetown uses games themselves as media to collage and remix, drawing from a long history of glitch, machinima, and assemblage.

Photos are from an installation of Texturetown in the upper gallery of the Experimental Arts Space at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The game can be found on GitHub.
