Here is a link to the article I read about the game Eve Online. I did not do so well in paraphrasing the article.

Other interesting sites to check out
Hi,
I think we talked about this in class recently - the Speculative Archive is an art duo that does videos and installations about historical events (as they note: on secrecy and the production of the past). Interesting to think of representing the past nonlinearly...
Also, I've been obsessed with this blog: The Wit of the Staircase, written by Theresa Duncan, a writer and filmmaker. This summer you may have heard about her, since she and her longtime boyfriend (and up and coming artist) Jeremy Blake mysteriously committed suicide a week apart. Conspiracy theories abound...either way the blog is a really great one, and also an incidental landmark to the dead (like those myspace pages that they keep up after the person passes).

Remember our fan fiction discussion?
I'm not sure how I feel about this. A group of fans have written an emulator of my story.
http://www.enb-emulator.com/
I can't imagine how much work this took on their part. I mean, I'm flattered, of course, but still ... it's kinda weird to have something you wrote brought back to life via emulation.
True, my first game is also distributed via emulator, but that's an exact copy of the game.
This is the game living on.

Linearish - The Dante Fried Chicken Show
So this is what I was doing when I missed class the other week. I've been directing a cooking / variety show called the Dante Fried Chicken show and we were shooting our 6th episode. Here's the trailer.

Mayakovsky Remix
http://www.dailymotion.com/franckancel/video/x3ccfb_vmr
In 2007, Franck Ancel acquired 3 meters of original film "The Celluloide
Heart". This film, lost for more than half a century, was made by and
featured the Soviet poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and Lili Brik. Ancel
breathes new life into these images by mixing them and adding a sound
piece by Luc Ferrari and Elisabeth Chojnacka, "Common program for
harpsichord and magnetic tapes" for a duration of 17 min 17 S to create
two versions.
This composition fills the visual space until it reaches monochromatic
saturation. 12 years later, in 1930, Mayakovsky committed suicide at 37
years of age and left his epitaph: The boat of the love crashed against
everyday life. As one says, the incident is closed.
Through the transfiguration of death and the disappearance of this work,
we present another formula in loop form, towards projection, that is
still alive towards a “2007” version: Everyday life crashed against the
boat of the love. As one says, that does not close the incident.
This "Vladimir Mayakovsky Remix" (VMR) is the continuation, one year
later of the "Yves Klein Remix" (YKR) made in 2006 with its poem "Come
with me into the void". This second edition limited to 27 numbered
specimens, for November 11th, is accompanied by a certificate. VMR is a
box plexis, 13 by 13 centimetres, containing a DVD screen printed in the
color of red blood.
