MachinimUWA VII: Braclo Eber + The Team of Eric Takkar & Arcane Marenwolf

BRACLO EBER'S 'BEYOND'


ERIC TAKKAR & ARCANE MARENWOLF'S 'UNSEEN TRANSCENDED BORDERS'

South African Braclo Eber now in Canada brings us a tale of love looking beyond borders for hope, with 'Beyond', and the Trans-Atlantic partnership of Eric Takkar & Arcane Marenwolf brings us the tragedy of human trafficking with 'Unseen Transcended Borders'. These films are the latex entries 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 2014. CLOSING DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS 31st OCTOBER 2014.

Eric & Arcane explain that:

"... The production deals with Human Trafficking, the second largest transnational crime globally, generating $35billion in black market income.  An estimated 20-27million people are victims of modern day slavery with an estimated 800,000 trafficked across international borders every year.

Nearly every country in the world is affected by human trafficking, as a point of origin, transit or destination. Each year thousands of victims from at least 127 countries have been reported to have been exploited in 137 States. 

This exploitation is a grave violation of human rights. It includes forced or bonded labour, debt servitude, sexual exploitation, forced marriage, organ harvesting, child exploitation, child soldiers and forced begging (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime 'UNDOC') Human trafficking is regarded as a high profit, low risk 'enterprise' for organised crime. "

You may interpret the theme as you see fit, however the average viewer would need to be able to appreciate how you fit this theme (alternatively, please indicate in the notes how it fits in the film notes on the web). Your machinima must be made specifically for this challenge, and this should be indicated in the opening credits 'For The University of Western Australia's MachinimUWA VII: Transcending Borders'. You do not have to film on the UWA sims, however this of course will be appreciated, and there is a Special UWA Prize which will be made available to a film which includes either Winthrop Clock Tower, The Somerville Auditorium or The Sunken Gardens.
 
ALSO, public viewing for TRANSCENDING BORDERS: The 5th UWA Grand 3D Art Challenge is now open (though the closing date for entries is the same as the Machinima - 31st October)

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 2014. CLOSING 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.

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.
