Adam grew up to go to The university of Virginia, receiving a B.A. in English literature, but moved to film as a story telling medium. Adam wanted to make stories come to life through stop motion animated films, which he accomplished in a vast array of ways. He uses everyday objects and food to make stop motion animated work. In game over he recreated classic arcade games death sequences into something more familiar with cupcakes, pizza, eggs, etc. the film was originally inspired by PAC-man who said the original source of of inspiration was a pizza with a slice missing. Adam is a very popular artist who has been interviewed by many magazines and journals and was even was given a little time slot on showtime television. He enjoys using food as a part of his work because it can translate into different objects like how PAC-man is a pizza, candy corn is fire, and muffins are floating rocks in space.
Adam's video's relate to our choice of edible art because his video art is actually edible, at least the contents used to make them come to life. He uses products like pizza, muffins, cupcakes, candy, and pretzels in his Game over Video, but different variates of food in other video's or "stories" as he likes to call them.
