MACHINIMA: EXPERIMENTAL NEW MEDIA ART & GAMES
jonCates
FVNM 4866 THURSDAYS 9 AM - 4 PM
FALL 2010 – FILM, VIDEO & NEW MEDIA STUDIO COURSE
Machinima literally combines "machine" and "cinema" using computer-based games to develop film and media art. Machinima views video games and game culture as New Media. Video game engines become artistic toolsets and authoring systems allowing artists to use the underlying code structures to create their own media artworks. Students play video games, learn to render artworks in realtime with low cost, commercially available game engines and free and open source software systems, discuss online distribution, and screen machinima artworks.
jonCates is a New Media Artist who makes, curates, collects and teaches experimental Machinima as well as various other Digital Art forms. His projects and programs show widely internationally and online: http://systemsapproach.net ¶ 1:55 PM 0 Comments

From a field of applicants from twelve countries from four continents, Mexican media artist, author, and researcher Fran Ilich Morales Muñozhas been awarded the first Leonardo Scholarship in the Media.Art.Histories MA program at the Department of Image Science at Danube University, Austria. The jury, consisting of Edward Shanken, jonCates and Oliver Grau selected Ilich from a highly competitive group of candidates based on his extraordinary accomplishments, intellectual sophistication, independent vision, and entrepreneurial spirit.
Ilich is Director of the Literature Department at the Centro Cultural de Tijuana, Founding Director of Possible worlds.org and Founding CEO of Spacebank. He was Co-founder and Moderator Nettime-Latino and has contributed essays to Wired News, Modem.txt, and Al Fin. His videogame artwork, "Banner" (with Blas Valdez) was exhibited at 01 San Jose (2009) and ARCO XX, Madrid (2001). His Internet soap opera, "Fea y Rebelde" was exhibited at Documenta 12, Kassel (2007). He was General Director and Curator of the Borderhack! festivals in 2001, 2002, and 2005.
=> LEONARDO SCHOLARSHIP FOR MEDIA ART HISTORIES
The scholarship is planned to answer the critical challenges of the 21st century, which require mobilization and cross-fertilization among the domains of art, science and technology by supporting the studies of a new researcher or artist.
=> FIRST INTERNATIONAL MASTER OF MEDIA.ART.HISTORIES
(low-residency; English language, international faculty) The postgraduate program MediaArtHistories conveys the most important developments of contemporary art through a network of renowned international theorists, artists and curators like: Erkki HUHTAMO, Lev MANOVICH, Christiane PAUL, Paul SERMON, Edward SHANKEN, Jens HAUSER,Sean CUBITT, Christa SOMMERER, Gerfried STOCKER, Knowbotic Research, Frieder NAKE, Oliver GRAU and many others.
Artists and programmers give new insights into the latest software, interface developments and their interdisciplinary and intercultural praxis. Keywords are: Strategies of Interaction & Interface Design, Social Software, Immersion & Emotion and Artistic Invention. Using online databases and other modern aids, knowledge of computer animation, netart, interactive, telematic and genetic art as well as the most recent reflections on nano art, augmented reality and wearables are introduced. Historical derivations that go far back into art and mediahistory are tied in intriguing ways to digital art. Important approaches and methods from Image Science, Media Archaeology and the History of Science & Technology will be discussed.

The Center in Monastery Goettweig, where most MediaArtHistories courses take place, is housed in a 14th century building, remodeled to fit the needs of modern research in singular surroundings.
