MachinimUWA VII: Babypea Von Phoenix & Masterperry's 'Silence Remains'

 


Babypea Von Phoenix & Masterperry GnomeZen use C-Lekktor's song top bring us 'Silence Remains', taking us back to Babypea's childhood. This film is the latest entry to the L$545,000++ MachinimUWA VII: Transcending Borders, the 7th UWA Short Animated Film Challenge. The 'Transcending Borders' theme was selected by Professor Ted Snell, Director of the Cultural Precinct, UWA and who inspired the very first of the UWA art challenges in 2009. This theme is in honour of the 'Transcending Borders' exhibition at UWA's Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery in 2014CLOSING DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS 31st OCTOBER 2014.

Babypea writes that C-Lektor's song:

"... inspired me to dance my childhood reccurring nightmare….

As a child, my reccurring nightmare was always hands coming out of walls and furniture, trying to grab me. And the mud. There was always that suffocating mud. My father was a thunderous voice and my mother was a scarecrow in my nightmare. There was also a daisy… the very last daisy in the entire world. The daisy had intelligence and feelings. She felt alone, vulnerable, doomed in a field of muck.

I felt sick with fear every time I awoke from that nightmare. When I was seventeen, I was so exhausted from fear of sleep because I feared having the nightmare, I surrendered to the hands. I decided to let them touch me. I had the nightmare two more times, and each time I let the hands do what they wanted. They touched my face, and then went away. Both times, I woke up not afraid. And I never had that nightmare again. "

Transcending Borders: 10. Eliza, NaTaS, Sniper, Elettra, Eliza, Asperix, Luko, Lalie

UWA 3D Art & Machinima Challenge: Transcending Borders, just keeps getting better and better. We now have 36 entries and counting. Deadline is approaching soon! Get your entry in by October 31.

We have a bunch of new entries in by artists who are new to UWA shows as well as some old friends we haven't seen in a long time.

Eliza Cabassoun has made a lovely abstract prim sculpture that is elegant in its simplicity. It was created live during a concert last year by Prowess Rayna. An interesting example of collaboration and improvisation.
 


NaTaS Janus gives us a set of dioramas suggestive of comic panels that tell a brief visual narrative about a mundane unfortunate event with a happy, but surreal ending (sorta...).


Sniper Siemens is inspired by the movie "Transcendence" to show how the boundaries between virtual and real can be blurred.


Elettra Beardmore shows a sort of cosmic display of images illustrating the stages of existence.


Eliza Quinzet-Leijon's entry is an abstract form surrounded by slowly rotating pinwheel stars. It is inspired by a verse by Walt Whitman's "A Clear Midnight."


Asperix Asp has created a large obelisk titled "Infinite Landmark." It used subtly shifting amorphous textures suggesting water in a hall of mirrors, infinitely reflecting within a finite space.


Luko Enoch gives us a figure in a state of creative ecstasy. About this Luko says, "When in creative flux I always tend to drift into an unexplainable moment where thought and imagination dance with each other."


Lalie Sorbet  is a French photographer living in India. Lalie's piece is a rl photo of a dewdrop on a branch. She has interposed her virtual dancing avatar on it in a kind of triptych with translucent motion echoing behind.

Image Used by Jay Jay for the Presentation (created with the help of quadrapop Lane & Dianne Elton)
UWA Second Life founder, Jay Jay Jegathesan is also a PhD student, completing a part time PhD on the topic of community and collaboration through virtual worlds.

The following video is taken from the semi-final round of the 2014 3-Minute Thesis competition where PhD students are asked to speak for 3 minutes on their PhD research using no technology or props aside from a single image.


JAY JAY JEGATHESAN - UWA SCHOOL OF EDUCATION / PHYSICS 

Some other presentations as shown below by David Gozzard, Blake Segler & Carl Blair, provide a flavour of some of the other presentations for the challenge.


 
BLAKE SEGLER - UWA SCHOOL OF PHYSICS


 
CARL BLAIR - UWA SCHOOL OF PHYSICS 


DAVID GOZZARD - UWA SCHOOL OF PHYSICS 

All these presentations led to successes in various ways. David & Blake made the final with David winning 2nd overall. Carl Blair gave a similar talk the next day at a postgraduate Physics conference and was adjudged best talk. Jay Jay was invited to give an expanded presentation by Arts Access Victoria at a Digital Accessibility Forum in Melbourne in December 2014.

Transcending Borders: 9. Pale, Jipe, JointVenture, Ama

UWA 3D Art & Machinima Challenge: Transcending Borders, just keeps getting better and better. We now have 28 entries with lots of space left for yours! Entries are being accepted until October 31.

Pale Illusion always gives us something thoughtful, dramatic, and/or fun.  Her entry "The Paper Empire" is a commentary about the artificial barriers people erect in order to control others. It is a model in corrugated cardboard of the barrier wall between Israel and Gaza. There are figures on ladders on each side of the wall and they are kissing through the barbed wire at the top. The woman is in an Arabic head scarf and the man has a Hasidic hat and sidelocks. There is a graffito on the wall that says "Love knows no borders."

Jipe Loon gave us a startling object in last year's Reflections show, with meticulous mesh figures in a surreal kaleidoscope. This time he  presents a more programmatic piece in a similar spirit that is that is at least as provocative. The artist offers a number or stories and interpretations for his fantastic construction.

JointVenture Resident gave us a couple of mesh skeletal pieces for last year's "What Makes Us Human?" anatomy/physiology model challenge. His entry for Transcending Borders is a sensitive and moving scene showing a young man placing an apple in the alms bowl of a desperate homeless person on the street. He has made a speed-painting (time-lapse) video showing his process for texturing the piece.
 
Ama Avro's entry "Utopia" is an energetic scene with birds pulling at a giant web around the earth. Ama says this is about communication:
Virtual Communication
Who pulls the web?
At the beginning .... no
Once upon a time .... no
Utopia ..... no, not even
Utopia .....  I dream of you
