"Writing is a kind of magic or deep-frozen speech, which the writer can use, day after day, to say to everyone who looks at it whatever he wants to say." Between -- my fifth game, about consciousness and isolation. Hosted by Esquire magazine as part of their December 2008 Best and Brightest feature (see my profile in Esquire ). Cultivation -- my second game, a social simulation about a community of gardeners that explores the balance between conflict and compromise (no shooting, but plenty of angry looks). Mary Johnson, Give Us a Sign -- An elaborate happening that I orchestrated for my neighbor's Halloween party.

"Anything can be art. Even a can of Campbell's soup." So admitted Roger Ebert , world-famous movie reviewer and notorious videogame detractor, back in July of 2007. However, continued Ebert, videogames will never be "high art." Ebert has held fast to his "games cannot be art" position for two and a half years, braving an e-firestorm of responses from passionate game fans. The gaming community has folded this fight into itself - we haven't just argued with Ebert, we've also debated endlessly with each other.
In a 5,000-square-foot warehouse in East Los Angeles, artist David Thorne spearheads elysian, an event space and occasional restaurant that began last November with “Night In” dinners. The building is located in Elysian Valley (aka Frogtown), and has recently hosted a benefit for the LA-based nonprofit Machine Project as well as an evening with the food writer Molly Stevens. Here, Thorne—whose background includes farming in Vermont and working with the famed Bread and Puppet Theater—discusses the space, as well as his other recent work. THERE IS ALWAYS SO MUCH HAPPENING IN LA, but because of the difficult layout of the city, there’s a need for more places where people can congregate.
