The artists lecture was ok. I enjoyed the social messages and underpinning of his games, but to me the execution was poor. Maybe its the mass consumer or the internet addict talking here, but the visual style and design just did not appeal to me. Perhaps I can attribute this to the rift that seems to exist between consumer entertainment and the art world, and how video games straddle this rift. Flash games in particular, because nobody really makes money off of Newgrounds posts directly, they just profit in getting good ratings and more attention. Ideally I want to create a work that appeals to both my gaming and artist sensibilities, and really make something fun and also artistically significant (whatever that means.) Maybe by parodying the extreme violence of many of today's games I can make something that makes fun of both art and video games, because I try not to take anything TOO seriously when it comes to my work.
Also, looks like someone has found a way to run Flash on a PSP. Heres the link:
