ORIENTATION 2011 Documentation

So, we just finished our third and final performance of ORIENTATION at the 2011 Odyssey Performance Art Festival. What a week! It has been exhausting, frustrating, maddening, exciting, exhilarating and completely worth all the effort. Thanks to Odyssey; particularly Fau Ferdinand, Lizsolo Mathilde and Jo Ellsmere, and all the avatars who attended and played along. Thanks also to Dekka Raymaker & Penumbra Carter for providing security.

I just uploaded a bunch of new shots to Flickr, here's the slideshow -

You can find more screenshots in the Flickr group.

Chantal Harvey has released a new machinima of the performance, nice one Chantal! -

ArthOle at MMIF 2011

This weekend sees the return of the annual Ma Machinima International Festival (MMIF), and a machinima entitled XXX PRIVATE SHOW I shot for an installation at the ArthOle gallery in 2008 is showing as part of the festival's schedule. MMIF 2011 runs from Friday June 17 through Saturday June 18, and the ArthOle machinima will play on Saturday in block 3, starting at 11.30am (SLT/PDT).

Unfortunately I can't be there, but Nebulosus Severine will be attending in Second Life to talk a bit about the background on the making of the machinima.

MMIF is a mixed-reality event, taking place simultaneously at the LEA Theatre in Second Life and Club Karlsson in Amsterdam.

You can also watch a live stream here (click the 'live' link at the top).

NEW Podtrac Player!

I implemented this recently for Soup Radio and thought it would be a nice idea to do it for the Arthole Radio archives. So, now you can listen to all the old ArthOle shows in a neat little pop-up player, just click on the PLAY NOW! button located on the right-hand side of this blog and a new window will open where you can listen to all the episodes!
