GAS ZAPPERS.

PROJECT NARRATIVE As the Economist Magazine noted in 2004, the video game industry has surpassed and continues to generate more revenue than Hollywood and the film industry. This shift in cultural lifestyle and entertainment has created an arena and demand for video games not played merely for leisure. Educational, informational, and instructional video games, also called Serious Games, have emerged as tools for the public to understand and learn about important social, political and environmental issues. GAS ZAPPERS will be the first game of its kind to approach climate change from a video game format available to the general public. As America and Australia remain the two developed countries who have not signed the Kyoto Protocol, which outlines significant measures addressing climate change, it becomes apparent that there is disagreement, debate and different analysis of raising global temperatures. GAS ZAPPERS will provide original artwork, information and virtual representations of the possible consequence of human activity in direct relation to the known causes of climate change and hope to inform the public to simple solutions which will promote human sustainability. GAS ZAPPERS will have different stages, or levels, addressing the various components of climate change. Each stage will embody a specific environmental identity addressing the causes, problems and possible solutions to the various scientifically proven contributors to elevated global temperatures.

playing with light

Vicki DaSilva’s photography is bright, bold and undeniably complex. She’s not only behind the camera, but in front of it, carefully crafting the light installations which serve as the subjects for most of her pictures. Though based in Pennsylvania, much of DaSilva’s work was influenced by the time she spent in NYC during the rise of graffiti and hip-hop culture.

“While in art school I became fascinated with time exposure photography at night as a way of creating images that involved principles of drawing, painting, sculpture, performance and installation. The work exists, as you point out, through the documentation process of photography.”

• Los Inrockuptibles •

(first of all, sorry for my prolonged absence from the blog.. – being busy in perfecting the fine art of wasting time and fooling around – and whining over my joblessness in the spare time.. uhm uhm..)

 

btw, while surfing the net in my midnight half-drunken web trips, i bumped into this amazingly creepy example of guerrilla marketing.. it’s the ad campaign for argentinian magazine Los Inrockuptibles..

how cool are they, up/down there (it depends from the perspective u look at argentina, i guess?)?

i SOOOOOOO want to go to buenos aires more and more!! ♥ ♥ ♥

Project sky

This is something really cool.

I met this guy in London 2 weeks ago, he was dressed as one of the Steve Zissou’s team so I stopped him on the street and we started to speak.

He was doing a project, carrying on a mirrow around London..

I didn’t understand untill he gave me his web site.

PROJECT SKY evolves from the ideas of oversaturated cities where publicity takes a big part in the way people relete to space.

Coniglio Viola

ConiglioViola is one of the best known and appreciated Italian new media art groups .

I saw a performance in Milan for the design week…Impressive and Insane.

Created by the couple of artists Fabrice Coniglio and Andrea Raviola, it eclettically moves over all areas of contemporary art scene: videoart / digital paintings / photography / net.art / interactive installations / multimedia theater / performances / eletronic music.This total ecletism derives from a reflection about digital medium intended as meta-language. This consents ConiglioViola to elaborate a project and then to decline it into all possible artistic shapes, always giving a very personal and strong style to the work.

I suggest to see the videos, only available on the web site.

In the videos they remix typical Italian songs from ’80 giving to them a contemporary interpretation.

One of my favorites is Caffè Nero Bollente..

Recycle Art

Cuprocking is the brain child of Sydney based artist Andy Uprock.

By mapping out large areas of cyclone fencing and sticking plastic cups into the existing diamond shaped holes, Andy transforms streets and public areas into floating walk-by galleries. Andy typically uses around 2,500 individual cups for each piece and recycles them between each project.

This street artist was in London untill 2 weeks ago making artworks next to my place.
