MildlyReactive on deviantART Qu'est ce qu'un « bon » sérious game ? Il est enseignant d’Histoire géographie, mais comme nombre de ses jeunes collègues, il a un passé de joueur et plus particulièrement de jeux vidéo. Chargé de mission Pôle Numérique au Rectorat de l’académie de Créteil, Julien Llanas est un des rares enseignants en France ( mais ne serait-il pas le seul ?) détaché auprès de l’administration de l’Education Nationale qui, passionné de pédagogie et par les sérious games, possède une véritable expertise dans ce champ très étroit qui se situe à l’intersection du e-learning, du jeu vidéo et surtout des programmes d’enseignement et du socle commun de connaissances et de compétences donc des ressources utiles aux enseignants et aux élèves. En fait son bureau se situe au cœur du Centre Régional de Documentation Pédagogique de l’académie de Créteil, ce qui situe parfaitement le domaine de sa mission. Mais en quoi consiste véritablement sa mission ? Mais qu’est ce qu’un « bon » sérious game ?
Abandoned Amusement Parks Continuant leurs séries sur les lieux abandonnés, c’est aujourd’hui aux parcs d’attractions que Andreas, Reginald Van de Velde ou Chris Luckhardt se sont attaqués. Ils photographient avec nostalgie ces endroits autrefois voués au divertissement et aujourd’hui flétris, sur lesquels la nature a repris ses droits.
These Photos Of Abandoned Asylums Will Keep You Awake Tonight They're the stuff of every horror flick you've ever seen -- but they're real. Photographer Dan Marbaix -- of Odins Raven Photography -- has always had a thing for abandoned buildings. When he visited the now-defunct West Park Hospital in England, he realized asylums have everything a photographer wants. Asylums were made so nobody would have to leave, he told HuffPost Weird News, and now, years later, everything is still in place: Beds, photos, and even hair salons are still intact. And they're as creepy as ever. Marbaix declined to give much identifying information about the locations in his photos, saying that many of them end up vandalized and ransacked. "I actually like taking photos of all things abandoned, but I have a particular love of asylums because of their size and range of environments," Photographer Dan Marbaix says.
Exploration urbaine Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Explorateurs à l'entrée d'une galerie technique en cours de construction à Paris, France L’exploration urbaine, abrégé urbex (de l'anglais urban exploration), est une activité consistant à visiter des lieux construits par l'homme, abandonnés ou non, en général interdits d'accès ou tout du moins cachés ou difficiles d'accès. Présentation[modifier | modifier le code] L'exploration urbaine, au sens propre, désigne le fait de recueillir des données sur des zones publiques du paysage urbain, délaissées tout ou partie du temps, en vue d'y accéder et de les utiliser. Cette activité, bien que clandestine et faite sans l'autorisation des éventuels propriétaires, n'est prohibée en France que par quelques décrets, arrêtés préfectoraux, ou règlements internes de certaines administrations.

Urban exploration Three urban explorers in the entrance of a technical gallery during construction at Paris, France. Urban exploration (often shortened as urbex or UE) is the exploration of man-made structures, usually abandoned ruins or not usually seen components of the man-made environment. Photography and historical interest/documentation are heavily featured in the hobby and, although it may sometimes involve trespassing onto private property, this is not always the case and is of innocent intention.[1] Urban exploration is also commonly referred to as infiltration, although some people consider infiltration to be more closely associated with the exploration of active or inhabited sites. It may also be referred to as draining (when exploring drains), urban spelunking, urban rock climbing, urban caving, or building hacking. The nature of this activity presents various risks, including both physical danger and the possibility of arrest and punishment. Targets of exploration[edit] Abandonments[edit]
Meet the girl blogger who sneaked inside Russian missile factory... and found no security By Damien Gayle Updated: 00:49 GMT, 8 January 2012 These incredible pictures were taken by a young Russian woman after she crept inside a factory belonging to one of the world's top manufacturers of liquid-fuel rockets. Lana Sator found her way into one of NPO Energomash's huge factories outside the Russian capital Moscow, without coming across a single security guard - or indeed any other employees at all. But she could now be in some serious trouble with the Russian government. Lana Sator poses on machinery at the crumbling Energomash plant outside Moscow You can't see me: Ms Sator poses cheekily next to a CCTV camera in the plant Truth is stranger than (science) fiction: This picture looks like something from the Death Star, but is actually the inside of the Energomash plant Out of service? The lights are on... but nobody seems to be home: This photograph shows the heavy machinery that built liquid-fuel rockets used to send astronauts into space
Eerie Photos of North Brother Island, the Last Unknown Place in New York City How does an island in New York City’s East River go from being notoriously feared, almost 100 years ago, to being completely forgotten about today? That’s the story behind North Brother Island, the subject of photographer Christopher Payne’s new photo book. A 10-minute boat ride from the Bronx’s Barretto Point Park, North Brother Island originally housed Riverside Hospital between the 1880s and 1930s. While in operation, the hospital served hundreds of patients who suffered from extremely communicable diseases, including smallpox, typhus, scarlet fever and even leprosy. It was also where “Typhoid Mary” was quarantined, and where she eventually died. The island’s facilities have since been decommissioned and the island itself abandoned since 1963.
Welcome to the doll's house for fatalists It would be an understatement to say I’m a fan of Lori Nix. She is epically talented. I’ve followed her work for some years and was truly excited to get the chance to ask her these questions about it. Tell us a little about yourself? Lori Nix: My name is Lori Nix. Besides living in a small apartment, what influenced you to start creating dioramas and photographing them? Lori Nix: I am most comfortable working with my hands. Your work is labor intensive and involves no digital manipulation. Lori Nix: My workflow is: Come up with the idea and then wait up to two years before I begin the scene. You’ve exhibited extensively in the US, but in Europe you’ve only shown in Italy and Germany so far. Lori Nix: I have wanted a European audience for my photography for a while now. The shows in Italy and Germany were amazing and I hope to be exhibiting again with each of them in the future. "All that's left of mankind is the cultural and economic spaces we once inhabited. Lori Nix: Not yet.
