VIDEO: OSCAR NODAL: GLITCH AS A NARRATIVE AGENT IN MACHINIMA

May 28, 2016

On May 5 2016, Mexican artist Oscar Nodal visited IULM Milan to discuss the role of glitches in his machinima practice. HERE IS THE EDITED video of his lecture. 

The video was produced by IULM Communication. Editing by Matteo Bittanti.

Nodal's Sleepy Existence (2014) is currently on display in the RECORD section of GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY. 

Born in Juarez, Mexico in 1986, Oscar Nodal is a visual artist who engages with new media technology, synthetic imagery, and simulated environments. As critic Emmanuel Villareal writes, “Nodal's work by moments examines video purely as an electronic technology of signal processing and transmission that shares these properties with other electronic media, notably television. But most of all, portrays video as a medium in its own right by articulating specific media language in a step-by-step construction of a videographic-aesthetic vocabulary, at times, successfully establishing an emergent semiotic system by which video becomes a medium that can be truly distinguished from alternative media.”
