NOW AVAILABLE: VRAL SEASON ONE
We are delighted to announce the release of VRAL Season One, the second volume in our new series GAME VIDEO/ART STUDIES.
Introduced in April 2020 amidst a global pandemic, VRAL is a uniquely curated game video experience, offering screenings of machinima created by artists and filmmakers whose work lies at the intersection of video art, cinema, animation, and gaming. The program features outstanding video works selected on the basis of their cultural relevance, artistic achievement, and innovative style. An online space that provides access to a range of diverse voices supplementing and expanding the Milan Machinima Festival, VRAL celebrates a new generation of digital filmmakers and artists and offers a deeper, broader understanding of machinima as an art form. Edited by Matteo Bittanti and Gemma Fantacci, this book features all Season One’s interviews (exhibitions 01 to 21), including extra content previously released online. Featured artists: Victor Morales, Aleksandar Radan, Jordy Veenstra, Petra Széman, Thomas Hawranke, Brenton Alexander Smith, Jón Bjarki Magnússon, David Blandy, Brent Watanabe, Edwin Lo, Fantastic Little Splash, Mikhail Maximov, Luca Miranda, Mario Mu, Antoine Chapon, Bob-Bicknell Knight, Isabelle Arvers, Total Refusal, COLLEO, Carson Lynn, and Mateus Domingos.
