CALL FOR MACHINIMA ENTRIES GALLERY MASKINEN WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO SUBMIT YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO PARTICIPATE IN A MACHINIMA SCREENING ON THE 2ND OF MARCH 2010
Machinima is the use of real-time three-dimensional (3-D) graphics rendering engines to generate computer animation. The term also refers to works that incorporate this animation technique which includes videos recorded in computer games or virtual worlds. Originally a practice that arose from the animated software introductions of the 1980´s demoscene, machinima is today a powerful artistic tool that promote the relationship between art and new technologies with the ability to reinterpret and re-code content from computer games and virtual worlds. The machinima screening will take place the 2 March 2010 in HUMlab at the Umeå University in the northern part of Sweden.
