Virtual Machinima for Social Good
In his latest Machinima, award-winning machinamagrapher Draxtor Despres takes a look at some of the forefathers of machinima and where the art is going, even reaching out to director James Cameron. He also examines how the New York based organziation, Global Kids, has enriched the machinima platform with their social issue work, including their latest project, “Discovered,” which was created by teens on the Second Life Teen Grid.
Another great piece Drax! We were thrilled to be able to build the history of machinima museum/theatre for this piece.
I’m not sure if I’m impressed or disturbed by the topic the kids chose. In either case, it is good to see them working to together for any kind of change and even better that they are using Second Life and technology to do it. Computers ARE good for more than just video games!
