In 2019, the Prix Ars Electronica jury recognised “Swatted” by Ismaël Joffroy Chandoutis (Computer Animation) with a Honorary Mention.
Online players describe their struggles with "swatting", a life-threatening cyber-harassment phenomenon that looms over them whenever they play. The events take shape through YouTube videos and wireframe images from a video game.
