New Media Using Computer Games
 
SelectParks is putting together a large public
database of experiments and artworks exploring the use and/or
modification of computer gaming technologies.
 
Of particular interest is work coming from either a fine-arts or theoretical
perspective. We are also interested in work purely concerned with exploring
the limits of the technology:
 
Including: 

___________________________________________________________________________

3D engine hacks
Architectural Investigations
Gameboy and handheld hacks
Game to real world applications [eg: robotics]
AI / Bot design
Console modifications
Machinima
Game Engines for audio installation / performance
Renderer Hacks [PanQuake etc]
Research on Platform Independence / Portability
Written Theory
___________________________________________________________________________

SelectParks is not interested in game-related illustrations, conventional 
level design, tags and skins, or work that celebrates in-game
exploits.
We are also not seeking flash or shockwave games.
 
Work must directly engage gaming technology specifically, toward
the ends of developing it for applications outside of the computer
game marketplace.
 
The site will feature:
___________________________________________________________________________
 
Resources
Festival and Funding billboard
Howto's
Downloads
Online Multi-user Game Lab
Forum
Code repository
Catalogue
 ___________________________________________________________________________

Each submitted work will have a page of documentation designed for it by SelectParks.
Those not comfortable with this can supply a link.
 
These pages will be composed within a template looking something like this: 
 
 
We will soon have servers for popular multi-user development
platforms like Quake [II and Q3a], Unreal Tournament, with support also for Linux based engines
like CrystalSpace.
 
The site will bring together the resources and innovations of the computer gaming and demo scenes in
contact with those wishing to explore alternative applications for these rich technologies.
 
Please email nearhere@selectparks.net with details of your project[s].
