Jon Lippincott: Vis Virtual UniverseVis is a virtual universe written from the ground up in C++. It has become the a means of creative expression for its author, who has used it for live performances at art spaces and nightclubs in NYC. It is a relatively young project (less than a year), and has a number of potential paths of evolution, the most likely being some kind of online space where users can create their own worlds and communicate with one another in unique ways.http://www.jonlippincott.com
David Kareve: horrified robot artDavid Karave creates horrified robot art. “Home Automation” is a combination of cinema, theatre and violent robotics. A family of crash test dummies, in a walk-in living room, react to the terror color code alerts on their television, by violently & musically smashing into themselves.
