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

misamigosmodernos — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:24:07 +0000

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.”

REMAPPING L.A.

JUNCTURE

»» November 1-4, 2007 »» 7pm – 12am

Remapping-LA`s purpose is to research and demonstrate how culture and technology in public space can be means for exploration and recognition of the ideas, forces, processes, and structures that conform the foundations of the city we live in.

Juncture is driven by the belief that informal community memory and formal historical reflection are key components for engaged cultural identity, and that such identity is essential for community empowerment and self-determination.
As with many times in the past, Los Angeles is undergoing a process of redefinition, trying to re-invent itself. Many are trying to define and influence this process (and benefit from it). Many, many more will be impacted and communities will be transformed.
Communities must recognize how we got here, position themselves, and engage the civic process for a better city to be possible. Otherwise they will again get `another city`.
