As a curator, my goal is to merge political, social and artistic issues around the question of games, which is eminently symbolic and political... and to promote alternative and artistic uses of video games, I’ve organized a number of 8bit music and chip tunes concerts, produced on Gameboys; and, for almost 5 years, I’ve been showing films
designed with video games, still called Machinimas. The point is to prove that it is possible to transform an object of mass consumption into a means of expression.

IntoTime by Rafael Rozendaal, 2010

i super like it

 

rafael rozendaal's new
piece intotime is hypnotic

chromo therapeutic and
hallucinating,

 

rafael is in a geometric
time,

colors and shapes create
abstractions

 

before he was more in a
funny time,

if the neen works of
angelo plessas were poetic,

 

rafael was in the
humoristic side

a sharp sense of humor

like nikola tosic's texts

 

but in images
