[Time's
Up Newsletter] AsTron at HAIP
Festival, Ljubljana
AsTron, recently completed in collaboration
with Zden Hlinka (Bratislava) and Martin Greunz (Vienna), will be
premiered at the HAIP festival in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The festival
starts on Tuesday 17th October. There will be a presentation of
Time's Up as part of the festival at 8pm on Thursday 19th October.
AsTron is a development using one
of the Gravitron interfaces as a human joystick control with a classic
style adventure game. Mixing "old-skool" graphics styles with Zden's
trademark organic 2D work*, the visual
world of AsTron is a treat. Martin Greunz's soundscape similarly
bridges the gap between old style gaming and contemporary bitcrushed
electronica%.
The talk on Thursday will investigate
many of the uses and misuses of games in Time's Up's work, illuminate
some connections with theatre and narrative as well as discuss the
techniques used in the development of AsTron and other pieces.
