Exhibitions: Video Games With An Agenda
|
|
"Videogames grew up under the late capitalism, when marketing was already very developed. This may in part explain why many of the commercial videogames that are available today are quite conservative and do not aim to do much more than entertain us..."
@ The Curzon Soho, October 16-November 7 2004, (many games online).
Curated by Gonzalo Frasca and Ian Bogost.

Exhibitions: 'The White Room' - John Paul Bichard
|
|
camper writes "
John Paul Bichard's recent artwork: The White Room, is a set of photographic prints resulting from an in-game photo shoot that documents a series of constructed disasters. These interiors were set up by the artist using the videogame Max Payne 2, a 'Film Noir' thriller that tells a tale of lost love, deception and betrayal.
The shoot took place within the game's developer mode using the GOD and GETALLWEAPONS cheats and BenDMan'S 'bloody mod 1.2'. By transforming the game environment into a ready-made urban studio space, the objects and interiors were altered using the in-game weapons with the gore from dead enemies being used to 'paint' the sets before being unceremoniously blasted out of view and the scene captured.

Alt-Ctrl kicks off at the Beall Center (Uni of California Irvine) today and looks to be the most comprehensive show in the field yet. More than just an exhibition of the usual suspects, Alt-Ctrl represents divergent game development practices from hardware modding right through to machinima.
"Over 20 works will be shown, including modded games, hot-rodded game machines, net-based games, and installations.
A special screening of machinima films will also be included; these
films, made "on location" in various games, highlight the sheer
inventiveness with which game artists are expanding their field".

Exhibitions: Workin' it at the Tokyo Game Show
|
|
 The PSP's good looks reflect upon us, and knowing this, Sony had many of them at the TGS attached to young girls.
One of them however was attached to Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of Rez and one of the nicest guys at the TGS. He was there to introduce his new title in development, Lumines (Pronounced in Japanese like ‘Luminous’).

Exhibitions: The Tokyo Game Show

 Well it's not often you can say you have a 'foreign correspondent'. If I've ever said so before, this time it's actually true.
Chad will be at the Tokyo Game Show in the coming days trawling for gossip on impending sequel to ICO, the PSP and other matters of deep importance.. In an increasingly homogenous mass-entertainment industry, the Japanese scene is a bastion of innovation; shining a reflexive light on game-design habits in the western world.
Chad's packed his TriForce and a camera - we'll keep you posted over the week.
