Game Art: Marc Owens' "Avatar Machine" (2008 - 2011)

Marc Owen's Avatar Machine - first mentioned on GameScenes five years ago - "replicates the aesthetics and visuals of third person gaming, allowing the user to view themselves as a virtual character in real space via a head mounted interface. The system potentially allows for a diminished sense of social responsibility, and could lead the user to demonstrate behaviors normally reserved for the gaming environment."  This video was produced for Talk to Me @ MoMA which took place in 2011.
