An Introduction to our Website
A brief prelude of sorts to our blog: what we are trying to accomplish, who we are, and what we wish to delve into. So essentially, our thesis.
Strange Video Games
A philosophical look at some of the alternate realities that are present within the gaming world.
Digital/Virtual Imagery and Art
A look at the digital sphere of art and images. Art being defined as an image purposely identifying as art, while imagery refers to a thing’s presence in the digital sphere, such as a person or an event, that isn’t necessarily labelled as art. Digital referring to art and images existing in the technology of computers, and virtual more specifically relating to the appearance of the art/images in the form of pixels and numbers, instead of physically existing.
Interviews with Fascinating People
Pretty self-explanatory. But we have an hour long, visual and audio recorded conversation with Jason Chu, two typed out interviews with questions and answers from two friends, Scott Findlay and Gavin Wilkes, some conversations with people from Gaia Online, and a conversation with Marissa Bouchard.
