Fascinating Series On Machinima, Video Games, and Art

Jenkins has three recent posts that come from curator Matteo Bittanti from the DIY Video 2010 event that was shown at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles LA consisting of selections of video game art, transformed video game art, and machinima. He is a research associate in humanities at Stanford and makes some fascinating remarks.

Did anyone within the machinima community attend this event? I do not recall any discussions on it.

Part One.

Part Two.

Part Three.

It is especially interesting as I had just watched this hour long performance art piece/stand-up comedy bit from the master of futurism, Bruce Sterling, at the Vimeo Festival, where his hour long diatribe on the future of video/internet/video asks and answers the question of what is coming next.
