Bio-tek Kitchen is a darkly humorous take on domestic consumption.

By applying a game patch to shoot-em-up Marathon Infinity, Starrs and Cmielewski have changed the 3D gaming environment to a kitchen. Instead of monsters and machine guns, players battle mutant vegetables using dish cloths and egg-flips. Perhaps these genetically engineered vegetables are part of a corporate conspiracy to take over the food chain. While the game-play of Bio-tek Kitchen is full of the machismo expected from violent video games, the kitchen implement artillery and domestic setting provide a comic twist, recalling the feminine rage of Martha Rosler’s video Semiotics of the Kitchen (1975).
