Vector Exhibition: Other Worlds. @Interaccess.
Vector Games Art festival is about to kick off very soon, and I proud to say I have some (small) involvement with it. The festival itself is both thought-provoking and necessary:
Other Worlds (co-curated by Prosthetic Knowledge and mrghosty), is an exhibition which addresses digital space as procedural landscapes. Rather than creating games where prescribed routes and narratives directing player movement and action, the works of Other Worlds position the player as a digital flaneur; free to move anywhere within these worlds, while occupying the position of a detached observer.
Other Worlds features the Canadian exhibition debut of The Night Journey, created by Bill Viola and Tracy Fullerton.
Other Worlds features works by : Luis Hernandez, Alex Myers & Jeff Thompson, Lea Albaugh, Arcane Kids, Ed Key & David Kanaga, Alan Kwan, Cyril Lecomte-Languérand, and Axel Shokk.

Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: The 3D Gif
In this submission, with the animated GIF format both celebrating it’s 25th birthday and becoming the U.S. word of the year, I take a look at some creative projects which take the 2D format and takes it into another dimensional context.
Included are ‘Gifpumper’, a community GIF collage project which can place a series of GIFs in a 3D space, ‘Animated GIF in 3D’ which displays the GIF frames spatially (bottom left image), ‘GIF 3D Gallery’ which can take a GIF and place it on a virtual gallery plinth (top image), and ‘GLGIF’ (bottom right image), a piece of code which can be set up to create a spinning GIF video wall with music.
Also included to test these projects are GIFs by a few Tumblr artists - DVDP, V5MT and Max Capacity.

Rhizome - Prosthetic Knowledge Picks: Internet Coolhunting
A collection of examples where pop culture was clearly inspired by smaller creative activities on the web (with some people not necessarily happy about it). With online chatter regarding the performance by Rihanna on Saturday Night Live and it’s adoption to the net-art ‘Seapunk’ style, it’s worth knowing that the mixed reaction is not an isolated occasion. Marketers employ ‘coolhunters’ to look out for interesting small cultural developments to make their artist’s seem ‘fresh’ and ahead of the game, an activity that has been happening since the early 1990s, which was a key subject in William Gibson’s 2003 novel Pattern Recognition.
Examples include Timbaland + Chiptune, Tumblr Fashion + Jeremy Scott, Paul B Davis “Datamoshing” Technique + Kanye West, and A Stroke of Genuis - Freelance Hellraiser + RCA.Read the whole thing at Rhizome here
