On Sunday, October 3rd, 2004, artist Joseph DeLappe re-enacted the first, 2004 Presidential Debate between Senator John Kerry and President George Bush in the PC online first person shooter game, "Battlefield Vietnam".

The performance/re-enactment involved typing into "Battlefield Vietnam" online the entire transcript from the first presidential debate. DeLappe switched his profile, or name, during the gameplay from "George Bush" to "John Kerry", as needed, to recreate, through the instant, text messaging system used in the online game, the entire 14,000+ words. The transcript, used in printed form from the NYtimes on the web, were typed into the online gameplay over the course of an eight hour session, visiting multiple game servers in the US and abroad.

The second debate, the "Town Hall Meeting" held in Missouri on Friday, October 3rd, is being re-enacted, in it's entirety during multiple visits to game servers hosting the online game, "Starwars: Jedi Knight II, Jedi Outcast". To date, DeLappe has recreated roughly half of this debate over a 4 hour period, starting Sunday, October 5th. (If you own the game, come find me! Look for Bush, or Kerry on the server list the next few evenings prior to the last and final debate in Arizona.)
