Gaming - Feminism



Yesterday, my friend Elizabeth Ludwig and I had a long conversation over facebook about feminism and video games. Sort of touched off by a particular event in relation to E3, but also in a broader sense about the misconceptions we had with each others' perceptions. In the end, I pretty much talked myself into capitulating with her position, but it makes for interesting reading.



Be warned, it IS a facebook conversation, and therefore very ill-written, at least on my part.

Quick digital painting I threw together that will form the basis of my Front End assignment over the next two weeks.  It's for invertedFall, one of the games I'm actively working on.

 Life - Nodus Tollens

n. the realization that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore—that although you thought you were following the arc of the story, you keep finding yourself immersed in passages you don’t understand, that don’t even seem to belong in the same genre—which requires you to go back and reread the chapters you had originally skimmed through to get to the good parts, only to learn that all along you were supposed to choose your own adventure.

Writing - Machine Ghosts

These are the days of machine ghosts, of data through wires, threads and lines of human consciousness without beginning nor end.  These are the days that the images of ourselves are being left as digital imprints, records of tracings, momentary flickers of acknowledgement before we spin our way again down the binary ether.  Images come and go, and data flows.
