OFFSHORE: a creative space between serious games and i-docs

Try it for yourself… it is worth it… OFFSHORE is a web documentary created by Brenda Longfellow, Glenn Richards and Helios Design Labs that explores the dark waters of the global offshore oil industry in the wake of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion. The storytelling takes place within the virtual world of a 3D, imagined oil rig that inhabits the same kind of space King Kong’s Skull Island does: a fog-obscured menacing destination. From what I have seen OFFSHORE looks as a very well-crafted project. It combines game logic and immersive interface to tackle a serious problem such as offshore oil extraction: its dangers, its economic and ecologic consequences. 13 seconds in August: The 35W bridge collapse.

Along with throngs of other western baby boomers’ offspring, Australian filmmaker Darius Devas travelled to Anjuna Beach in 2010. The boomers themselves had been there in the late sixties, when the infamous Goa hippie movement was founded in the Indian beach paradise. A milestone in their self-development, with a lot of rock ‘n’ roll, alcohol, drugs and free love. Forty years later – and half a life older – they meet again, thanks to the Goa community on Facebook. How do they look back on their hippie parties? This Land: Interactive Documentary Reveals Canada’s Harshest Terrain « All My Faves.

This was a particularly interesting to Mehta, who is a Knight Fellow at Stanford University and former New York Times video journalist currently working on ways to develop what he calls "participatory reporting.

Departures

Before there was a California, or even a United States, the Gabrieleño Indians had a community of over 45 villages dotting the San Fernando Valley and present day Glendale, and the River was their foundation, providing water and a diverse selection of food. In 1769, Spain's Gaspar de Portola "discovered" the river during his explorations, dubbing it El Río de Nuestra Señora La Reina de Los Ángeles de Porciúncula.

The Great Work. Unspeak. A Film by Steve James and Alex Kotlowitz. The Interrupters (TheInterrupters) sur Twitter. For Want of Water - Topics - Las Vegas Sun. — Interactive by Zach Wise Las Vegas was first settled for its springs, springs that made it an oasis in the desert.

For Want of Water - Topics - Las Vegas Sun

Although those springs have decades since run dry, water is still the most import resource to Las Vegas and the dry Southwest. And by all indications the region is only going to get dryer. Scientists predict devastating effects from global warming, conservationists are calling for a halt to growth in Southern Nevada as a way to preserve supplies and water managers are looking to ever more creative ways to reduce reliance on the overburdened Colorado River. A Colorado River reservoir at Lake Mead is the source of 90 percent of the valley's water supply. Now Southern Nevada water managers say they can no longer rely on the river so heavily, and must construct a massive pipeline to draw water stored underground for centuries in rural Nevada to Las Vegas.

Can You See Me Now?

Is one of the first location based games. Online players compete against members of Blast Theory on the streets. Tracked by satellites, Blast Theory's runners appear online next to your player on a map of the city. On the streets, handheld computers showing the positions of online players guide the runners in tracking you down. With up to 100 people playing online at a time, players can exchange tactics and send messages to Blast Theory.

Can You See Me Now? How to play Can You See Me Now? As soon as a player registers they must answer the question: “Is there someone you haven’t seen for a long time that you still think of?”. Using your arrow keys you explore the virtual city, all the while trying to avoid the runners. Proximity and distance exist at five levels in the game. And alongside these small moments, there is a louder and more forceful set of interactions between runners and players based on insults, teasing, goading and humour.
