Perhaps before trying to answer whether or not It Will Never Be the Same is art or not, we should figure out if it’s a game. Wait, yes it is. You press one button and you move your mouse left and right to turn, driving into the night forever. It may be simple, but it lends itself to all sorts of marvelous projection. Put on a Songs: Ohia album and watch your monitor turn into a portal for delectable existential angst. Or pull out a script of Terminator 2 and re-enact the closing narration. Or, as my good friend who pointed me to It Will Never Be the Same said, just make some “reeeerrrrrrrrrrr, vroom” sounds for perfect satisfaction.
Enjoy and interpret here.

Oh, wait, it’s already art
