Machinima

My friend Albert, currently tearing it up down at Parsons, recently just has a successful opening for his (and his Team Vacancy's) Machinima installation at the Chelsea Art Museum.

"This spring, Parsons The New School for Design will present The Sims™: In the Hands of Artists, an exhibition exploring the world of Electronic Arts’ popular video game, The Sims, April 19-May 12, 2007, at the Chelsea Art Museum. Works on view by students in the Communication Design, Design and Technology, and Illustration programs at Parsons will range from machinima (using a game engine to produce animations or films), physical computing, interactive media, and three dimensional printing to painting, drawing and even toy design. The exhibition is organized by Parsons Communication Design and Technology Department with support from Electronic Arts (EA). An opening reception will be held on April 19, 6-8 p.m. and is free and open to the public."
