The organisation "
Human Atopic Space" was founded in 2008 and aims to promote new artistic forms and new media art.
Atopic are having a
Machinima festival at Hotel Scribe (the site where the Lumiere brothers had their world premiere invention of "cinema") and the
Geode with its
iconic geode sculpture.
I managed to wangle Ctrl, Alt, Del and Dagon into the festival, and I would like to thank the wonderful
Fauve Beaumont for kindly translating Dagon into French (even though I did make a mess of the apostrophes waa). Thank you very much Fauve!! :D
This festival is now in its 2nd year, and goes to prove that Machinima can be art in its own right, and not just snapshots of popular computer gaming and cutscenes.
The
festival runs this weekend (17th to 21st December) and it sounds a pretty cool event with workshops and other things going on.
I leave you with my favourite Machinima from the festival,Unheimliche by Pierre Gaudillere, created with Little Big Planet:
and my "blink and you will miss it" Ctrl, Alt, Del short
Thanks!
