Game Day!

Hi there! Tomorrow should be fun. It's our last day of discussing any theoretical readings and we'll be talking about video games... I would like us to discuss video games, in general, and then to discuss artists who use video games in their work. The following are a few artists (among MANY) who do so:

Anne-Marie Schleiner
Brody Condon
Eddo Stern
C-Level
Paul Johnson
Cory Arcangel
Paul Slocum
Radical Software Group

Note: If you dig around for even a moment, you'll discover that many of these artists have collaborated with each other on various projects... sort of a multiplayer approach to art-making...

We will also touch on the history of Intro's/Demo's and Machinema (sometimes spelled Machinima).
