If you own a smartphone, you probably have Angry Birds downloaded onto it, just like over a billion other people who have helped make the game a massive, global, time-killing hit. And if you’ve had enough time to kill, chances are you’ve completed it and experienced the glow of satisfaction that comes after beating any video game.But what you’re probably not quite so aware of are the physical actions it took to complete this cultural phenomenon—all the swipes and jabs at the screen that launched the many birds that laid waste to those evil, egg-stealing green pigs. It’s something that artist Evan Roth has familiarized himself with because he’s visualized everyone of them in his piece Angry Birds All Levels (part of his Multi-Touch Paintings series), currently exhibiting at the Science Gallery in Dublin, Ireland.
