I used to, until I moved to LA, where I started meeting Best Boys and Dolly Grips with their kids when I took my son to the playground—yes, Hollywood, where you meet Gaffers and Armourers at your average Saturday night house party. So I started asking questions, and here's what I've learned: 1. Boom Operator No, this job has nothing to do with explosives or pyrotechnics. 2. Now this job does deal with explosives, of a sort. 3. Though the gaffer manages the entire electrical department, all the guys who run cables and hang lights, his main responsibility is mounting and positioning lights and lighting rigs. 4. Grips are sort of like worker bees. 5. This guy runs the Grips dept and assists the Gaffer. 6. This guy has nothing at all to do with a wedding, unless we're talking something like Wedding Crashers . 7. A dolly grip operates the movie camera dolly. 8. 9. 10.

Hz #13 -"Games: The Art of Making, Bending, and Breaking Rules" Abstract Game-based art has implied and explicit rules that artists expose and exploit for aesthetic and ideological purposes. The thesis develops this theory of interactivity from Noah Wardrip-Fruin's concept of playable media, Domini Lopes' strongly interactive art, Eric Zimmerman's defined modes of interactivity, and Ian Bogost's procedural rhetoric. The thesis explores the aesthetic and ideological in games from Dadaism, Surrealism, Fluxus, and contemporary artists Rafael Fajardo, Gabriel Orozco, Mary Flanagan, Francisco Ortega-Grimaldo, Wafaa Bilal, Natalie Bookchin, Voker Morawe, Timan Reiff, and Matthew Ritchie, and my own game-based interactive works. Introduction Interactive art is an accepted but contested art form. Definitions of interactivity do exist, and I am not suggesting that the art form has not been defined in helpful ways or that the contours of interactive art have not been discussed. What, then, makes art interactive? Objective Motivation I. Encoded Environments II.
Surrealismo Surrealismo. Pintura surrealista El Surrealismo comienza en 1924 en París con la publicación del "Manifiesto Surrealista" de André Breton, quien estimaba que la situación histórica de posguerra exigía un arte nuevo que indagara en lo más profundo del ser humano para comprender al hombre en su totalidad. Siendo conocedor de Freud pensó en la posibilidad que ofrecía el psicoanálisis como método de creación artística. Para los surrealistas la obra nace del automatismo puro, es decir, cualquier forma de expresión en la que la mente no ejerza ningún tipo de control. Intentan plasmar por medio de formas abstractas o figurativas simbólicas las imágenes de la realidad más profunda del ser humano, el subconsciente y el mundo de los sueños. Se interesaron además por el arte de los pueblos primitivos, el arte de los niños y de los dementes. Precedentes del Surrealismo Los artífices del surrealismo Observamos dos vertientes. Ernst (1891-1979) Tanguy (1900-1985) Magritte (1898-1976) Masson (1896-1987)
