Machinima chapter

The Entertainment Computing Research Group got a lift with our first acceptance (pending actual writing). We’re going to contribute an essay in a chapter — “Machinima Style, Conventions and Aesthetics” — exploring relationships among Machinima and other media (film, TV, theatre, radio), and how new presentation forms evolve. Specifically, we are going to examine the line between game and Machinima. Will, the Bardzells, Matt, Christian and myself will be writing a piece called: “Pwned: A critical study of platform determinism in Machinima authoring.”

He thinks deeply about many things, including but not limited to basketball, politics, microblogging, parenting, online communities, complex systems and design theory. He didn't, however, think up this profile.
