Game Art: Phil Solomon's "Still Raining, Still Dreaming" (2008)
Kudos to Urban Video Project - a multi-media public art initiative of Light Work and Syracuse University - for sharing an excerpt of Phil Solomon's "Still Raining, Still Dreaming" (2008, machinima, 12 ' 14""), a segment of his larger Grand Theft Auto series "In Memorium". Shot entirely in GTA, the piece is shown in conjunction with the Everson’s exhibition of the Smithsonian traveling show, The Art of Video Games (November 7 – December 21, 2013). The good news is that three more works from Solomon’s "In Memorium" – specifically, "Crossroad" (2005), "Rehearsals for Retirement" (2007), and "Last Days in a Lonely Place" (2008) – will be screened as part of Avant Gaming in the Everson’s Hosmer auditorium on Tuesday, November 12 at 6:30pm. Additional information about Phil Solomon, including his masterpiece Empire, can be found here and below.
