The Avatar Machine by Marc Owens


The
Avatar Machine
by Marc Owens
The virtual communities created by online games have provided us with a new medium for social interaction and communication. Avatar Machine is a system which replicates the aesthetics and visuals of third person gaming, allowing the user to view themselves as a virtual character in real space via a head mounted interface.
The system potentially allows for
a diminished sense of social responsibility, and could lead the user to demonstrate behaviors normally reserved for the gaming environment.

OVER THE GAME – GAME ART EXHIBITION

Duration: Nov. 26, 2009 – Jan 26, 2010

Zemos98 and Arsgames will open at nov. 26, 2009 the doors of the exhibition “Over the Game” in Seville. “If you are in Seville right now, do not miss it.” This international exhibition will show fresh game art, game related video installations, streetart and of course computer games. This exhibition is produced and curated by Pedro Jimenez and Flavio Escribano. In cooperation with A MAZE. this exhibition will travel to different countries. The idea of the travelling exhibition is to allow intercultural exchange withthrough computer games. We will provide workshops and lectures during the presence of “Over the Game” and local artists are invited to work with contents of cultural heritage. The creative outputs of the workshops will be presented at the next Over the Games location.
