Third Faction is going to Istanbul !

The Third Faction is an artist collective I cofounded that acts as an anti-war humanitarian activist group inside the World of Warcraft. Our last project /hug was pretty successful and was shown in the Laguna Art Museum as part of WoW: Emergent Media Phenomenon in 2009. Now our new as yet unnamed project was just accepted into ISEA 2011. I am super excited but also freaking out a bit. Everything is bigger, crazier, further and there are more of us to coordinate. But that's what awesome is right?

2 Shows!
Learn to Play Too
and Craft & Punishment

John Bruneau is pretty burnt out but the fruits of my labor are two awesome art shows happening concurrently. Sweetness...

Craft & Punishment, The Art and Craft in Game Design, Presented by Learn to Play
Jan 31 – Feb 24, 2011

Craft & Punishment, a new show from the creators of Learn to Play, asks the questions: Is there a dialog between art and craft in game design? Where does such a distinction lead? Is digital pain the new pleasure?

Learn to Play Too, an expansion of the ground-breaking Learn to Play.
January 4 – February 24, 2011

Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, and to the great interest from campus and community to develop projects and programming directly related to the exhibition, we are offering Learn to Play Too.
