Fadinger Gamedesign Workshop - 23.12.2011 by Gerolf Nikolay

1

Im diesjährigen Weihnachtsworkshop in Wels wurden, gemeinsam mit Schülern des MRG Fadingerstraße Linz, die Grundlagen der Open-Source 3D Modelliersoftware Blender behandelt und fliegende Inseln für das Spiel 'Fragment Planet' modelliert, sowie texturiert.

'Fragment Planet' ist ein Echtzeitstrategiespiel von Simon Stix, in dem die Erde auf der Suche nach einer neuen Energiequelle vernichtet wurde. Die Überlebenden der Katastrophe bewegen sich mithilfe von Fluggeräten zwischen Fragmenten der alten Welt und bauen auf ihnen trostlose Städte und Militärbasen. Der Stil des Spiels ist eine Mischung aus Steam- und Cyberpunk und es verbindet die Elemente klassischer Strategiespiele, mit frei beweglichen, fliegenden Inseln, wodurch ein einzigartig dynamisches Gameplay entsteht.

GAME TALK #3: JOSEPH DELAPPE by MANYBITS

MARCH 27 2019/27 MARZO 2019

18:00 - 19:00

Room 135/Aula 135 (terzo piano)

Università IULM (IULM 1)

Via Carlo Bo, 1

20143 Milan

PLAYING POLITICS: HEADSHOT!

In this talk, media artist and activist Joseph DeLappe will describe a lineage of creative projects and actions situated at the intersections of computer gaming, art/technology, and interventionist strategies engaging our geopolitical contexts. DeLappe will detail an approach to considering computer gaming environments online as a new type of public space; within which he has conducted a series of interventionist performances and actions, such as the 2006 project dead‐in‐iraq, to type consecutively, all names of America's military casualties from the war in Iraq into the America's Army first-person shooter online recruiting game. More recent projects include Elegy: GTA USA Gun Homicides (2018), a self-playing mod as a data visualizer of gun homicides in the United States as realized through this popular video game.

Joseph DeLappe is Professor of Games and Tactical Media at Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland. Works in online gaming performance, public engagements, participatory sculpture and electromechanical installation have been shown throughout the United States and internationally. He has developed works for venues such as Eyebeam Art and Technology in New York, The Guangdong Museum of Art, China and Transitio MX, Mexico City, among others. Creative works and actions have been featured widely in scholarly journals, books and in the popular media. In 2016 he collaborated with the Biome Collective in Dundee to create Killbox, a game about drone warfare that was nominated in 2017 for a BAFTA Scotland in the “Best Computer Game” category. In 2017 he was awarded Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts, one of the top awards for artists, writers and creatives in the United States.

POLITICA IN GIOCO: HEADSHOT!

In questo intervento, il media artist e attivista Joseph DeLappe illustra progetti, interventi e azioni creative che si collocano all’intersezione tra videogioco, arte, tecnologia e ideologia in differenti contesti geopolitici. DeLappe considera i videogiochi online una nuova tipologia di spazio pubblico, un palcoscenico virtuale nel quale dare vita a performance di ogni tipo. Gli interventi di DeLappe includono dead-in-iraq (2006), che prevedeva l’inserimento via chat dei nomi delle vittime militari statunitensi della guerra in Iraq nel videogioco di reclutamento online America’s Army fino al recentissimo Elegy: GTA USA Gun Homicides (2018), una modifica del popolare action game di Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto V, che visualizza in tempo reale le statistiche sugli omicidi da arma da fuoco negli Stati Uniti.

Joseph DeLappe è Professor of Games and Tactical Media presso l’Abertay University di Dundee, Scozia. La sua pratica privilegia le performance di gioco online e in pubblico, la scultura partecipativa e le installazioni elettromeccaniche sono state esposte negli Stati Uniti e a livello internazionale. Ha creato installazioni site-specific per Eyebeam Art and Technology a New York, The Guangdong Museum of Art, Cina e Transitio MX, a Città del Messico, tra gli altri. Le sue opere e performance sono state citate su riviste accademiche, libri e mass media. Nel 2016 ha collaborato con il Biome Collective di Dundee per creare Killbox, un videogioco che tematizza l’uso dei droni finalista dei premi BAFTA 2017 nella categoria Best Computer Game. Nel 2017 ha ottenuto la Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts, uno dei riconoscimenti più prestigiosi per artisti, scrittori e creativi negli Stati Uniti.

GAME TALK #4: foci + loci by MANYBITS

MAY 31 2018/31 MAGGIO 2018

Aula seminari 6:00 - 7:00 pm (18:00 - 19:00)

Università IULM (IULM 1)

Via Carlo Bo, 1

20143 Milan

AN EVENT PRESENTED BY THE MASTER OF ARTS IN GAME DESIGN AT IULM UNIVERSITY

FOCI + LOCI

TOPOS

Topos is a long-term WIP and a game art performance combining a two-channel video projection of artist-built game spaces. The piece examines the cultural shift from the mechanized, topographic 20th century to the topological experience of the digital era through virtual, kinetic portraits. Subjects will include modernist artists concerned with time and movement such as F.T. Marinetti, Claude Cahun, Scott Joplin and others. Navigating custom game spaces in real time, the performers will explore the grand shift from the physical to the virtual.

foci + loci evolved through a fascination with the malleability of virtual space paired with an interest in electroacoustic improvisation leading the duo (Chris Burke and Tamara Yadao) to design spaces that could be “played” as instruments. foci + loci received a NYSCA grant for 2013 to develop their full scale game art performance installation ‘Bal(l)ade’. Tamara received an American Composers' Forum grant in 2015 commissioning the music for foci + loci's "Another Kind of Spiral" which premiered at Cluster Festival in Winnipeg with a performance at Centre Georges Pompidou following soon after. Other performances and exhibits include GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY an official exhibition of the 21st Triennale of Milan, Vector Festival in Toronto, Babycastles, The Stone, and Joe's Pub in NYC.
