I’ve been playing another
couple of beautiful games on the PS3 – the unfinished swan and Hohokum - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unfinished_Swan
is quite stunning dynamically – the way you create and navigate the world you
exist within by ‘painting’ the seemingly blank white space with paint, water,
light and vines which you ‘grow’. The
idea itself is just so beautifully clever and it also works well enabling great
fluidity of engagement with the game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohokum
has majestic game play which is also incredibly intuitive – a feeling of knowing
what to do. This combined with some funky aquatic biomorphic graphic shapes
just makes you smile.
Meanwhile this is a link to the film made for the
Parallel Practices project by the Crafts Council – my element of the project
kicks in at 2.40 http://www.craftscouncil.org.uk/what-we-do/parallel-practices
