Honors and Recognitions
Chip Morningstar has been recognized many times over the years for the awards he has achieved. In March, 2001, Morningstar and his colleague Randy Farmer were awarded the First Penguin Award by the International Game Developers Association for their work on Lucas Film's "Habitat". This game contributed to the evolution of what is now known as massively multiplayer games. Also, he worked on "The Palace", the worlds largest graphical chat system. Later he participated in the development of Xanadu, the worlds first distributed hypertext system, which is when "hypertext" was originally coined. As of today he holds multiple patents in distributed object systems and image processing.
He is also known for How to Deconstruct Almost Anything, a 1993 essay in which he presents a step-by-step procedure for deconstructing any given text. The essay effectively demystifies Jacques Derrida's deconstruction which, in the early 1990s, had a nearly faddish popularity in some corners of American academia. Morningstar's essay stemmed from the 1991 "Second International Conference on Cyberspace", at which he and Farmer gave a computer science-oriented presentation but were baffled by the complex and daunting "lit crit" of many other presentations.
