Blur+Sharpen presents Machinima Artistica
Blur + Sharpen, a screening series sponsored by the Institute for Multimedia Literacy, is pleased to present Machinima Artistica. This program of artist-made machinima focuses on a full range of expression, from the elegiac force of Phil Solomon and Mark Lapore’s haunting Untitled (for David Gatten) to a range of politically motivated critiques of violence and war, explorations of virtual being, and kinetic, abstract pieces that completely transform game worlds into spaces of awe and beauty. This is machinima like you've never seen it before! Curated by Holly Willis.
Tuesday, November 6, 2007 : 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Robert Zemeckis Center's Ron Howard Theater
Free and open to the public

Machinima continues to fascinate me and this was a nicely curated exhibit which got me thinking about what I can only think of as a kind of "inverse" of machinima where video game idioms are laminated over real-world photos and such. I wonder what this says about the imbrication of "first life" and "second life" digital experiences? So, like..I wrote some thoughts.
