MACHINIMA AND THE ALLURE OF EPHEMERALITY: GAMEPLAY, LIVE STREAMS & DIGITAL CULTURE
LANGUAGE: ENGLISH
In this talk, Jenna Ng will address the explosion of interest in the live streaming of gameplay as witnessed in the popularity of Twitch, whose latest number of daily active users has reached 15 million, as well as other major platforms such as YouTube Gaming, Mixer, and Facebook Live. Specifically, the talk will link the current phenomenon of video game live streams with machinima and its origins in game demos and captured videogame play, arguing not only for live streams to be the next logical evolution for machinima, but also for a critical theorisation of screen media that pursues a realist trajectory, one which potentially works its way from neorealist cinema to drone culture.
Jenna Ng first trained as a finance lawyer in Singapore and London before switching to film studies, in which she obtained a PhD from University College London (UCL), and currently teaches film and interactive media at the University of York, UK. She is the editor of Understanding Machinima: Essays on Filmmaking in Virtual Worlds (Bloomsbury, 2013) and her current book project, Undoing the Screen: Space, Spectacle, Surface (Palgrave), explores the effacing of screen boundaries in relation to contemporary display technologies and the resulting erasure between images, objects, surfaces and spaces.

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.

The Globaloria team travelled to Huntsville, Alabama to familiarize new teachers with the Globaloria program, how to implement it in their classrooms, and engage their students on their game design journeys.
Primeira desenho finalizado oficial de Hirzel usando um dos 8 mantos sagrados:
A Capa de Sylph, a deusa do vento.
Com esse manto possui um poder especial que ao correr transforma o corpo do usuario em vento.
Isso permite atravessar qualquer tipo de porta que possua orificios pelo qual o vento possa atravessar;
Atravessar fossos ou abismos;
Utilizando em conjunto com o cajado de Iduna eh possivel criar rajadas de vento q servem como boomerang;
Quando o corpo toma forma de vento, nao sofre nenhum dano, exceto algumas magias, especialmente as de gelo. Alem de tornar-se relativamente invisivel, apesar de se sentir e ouvir as rajadas de vento que se formam.
O ponto fraco da capa e que nao pode ser usada molhada (chuva, agua, etc...) e pode ter seus poderes anulados em ambientes frios demais.
Outro ponto fraco eh a vulnerabilidade. Em condicoes normais a capa de Sylph eh a com o menos fator de protecao...
O que acharam da descricao desse primeiro item magico revelado?
Here are the three games I've built so far: checkers/draughts in the upper left; the chess board that started the whole project in the middle, and hnefatafl in the center.
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.
