The North-South... Game. An interpretation of Merlino Mayo's art. Machinima Arm Strom

Machinima from The Cycle of Naturae art exhibition (March 28 and to the end of May 2011) by Merlino Mayo, and the Ultrasonne concert by Ultraviolet Alter. Place: MiC - Musei di Roma Capitale (The island of Rome's museums) in Second Life.

The exhibition was a large, complex and powerful experience. The artist focused a.o on the complexity of nature, and its elements.

In my limited selection of movie clips, I have chosen to focus on the element of water. For me, nature is also politics, including resources and geopolitics. The exhibition, in the virtual Rome museums, got me also to think about the important events, which is now underway in the Mediterranean region, and the severe drought in the Horn of Africa. And later unfortunately, the tragedy that has hit Oslo, and the youth on the island Utøya in Norway this summer.

SymbioticA-Exotica or Vice Versa. MachinimUWA III: Journeys

Music: Exotica by Juanitos. The Free Music Archive (FMA).

The machinima "SymbioticA-Exotica or Vice Versa" is inspired by art in Second Life, and SymbioticA an artistic laboratory dedicated to engagement with the life sciences and issues of life manipulation. I was intrigued, it made me curious and gave me a creepy feeling too. Something that feed my imagination.

The machinima is my contribution to MachinimUWA III: Journeys at The University of Western Australia.

Machinima/filmfestival MMIF-2010. In Second Life and at the "Planet Art" in Amsterdam


The MaMachinima festival "MMIF 2010", is a celebration of "Machinima": a cinematic art form, created in virtual worlds and in videogames.

It was a global gathering of machinimathographers, with public screenings of machinimas in cyberspace and in the physical world, The Netherlands.



It was the second annual MMIF machinima filmfestival in 3D cyberspace / Second Life, and with screening in a "real" physical space. This time at the Artspace + Medialab "Planet Art" in Amsterdam.

More than 50 machinimas were shown.

The seven hour marathon could also be followed on the web, via livestream broadcasts.


There were more than 140 avatars gathered at the sims at the same time.
