Film Festival in Cyberspace

I had my first Second Life experience last weekend at MMIF, which celebrates a new cinematic art form, created with 3D virtual worlds and online computer games. Hosted in the auditorium of the PLANETART Medialab Artspace in the Volkskrantgebouw. It was a little too techy for me, although I was excited to see Dolly Parton make a cameo appearance in DiVAS.

I was also curious about the Dadamachinima exhibition, which was presented in the same space and featured a beautiful typographic treatment of Quake III source code inĀ Hidden in Plain Sight (image above) by Gottfried Haider and a nice concept from Aram Bartholl with his First Person Shooter (image below).
