DontVoteMeOffPigeon consists of three videos and six audio CDs with accompanying texts and images. The videos were created for use in conjunction with the PC game Battlefield 2™ (EA Games) and cover vehicular routes between bases. The audio CDs were made for the commuting students of Long Island’s Stony Brook University and include directions from Google Maps™. Looking for a way to revitalize his own Battlefield 2 gameplay, DontVoteMeOffPigeon decided to look for unprecedented yet efficient routes between bases. Reenacting battlerecordings (of previous matches) downloaded from the TV2 Norway server, he began to work on his own new routes. Tested on both local and public servers, the routes allow players to travel quickly between bases while avoiding common areas of threat. His videos may be used by groups as tools for strategic planning or by individual players to broaden their area of knowledge.

The South P Lot at Stony Brook University is a parking area reserved for commuting students. Buses run every 10-15 minutes taking students from the parking lot to the Student Activities Center (SAC) at the center of campus. Now the commuting students have a map to guide them from the bus stop to their cars. Inside their cars Google is directing them by destination, although many of them aren't listening to the right tracks. Businesses near the university include law, massage, and insurance services as well as stores for electronics, hardware, furniture, stationery, and pharmaceuticals. Pizzerias, bagelries, steak houses, Greek diners, restaurant chains and a number of other dining establishments are also available. In a few minutes one of the commuters is at work setting knives and forks in place, and one is at work setting legal phrases in place.
