This is a compilation in Gif form of multiple game environments that the player character can move around in. I believe technology has impacted environment in that thing can be made digitally that cannot be made in the real world. It can also create real world environments for the character to explore, this allows people to create their fantasies and visit places from their own home. The Gif was created in photoshop but the images were gathered in Sony Vegas from video recordings taken from Roxio's Easy VHS to DVD. Games included: Final Fantasy X, Fallout 3, Uncharted 3, God of War 3, Mass Effect 3, Assassin's Creed 3, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Borderlands 2, Halo 4, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The window I choose because it represented more of a gateway and I liked it better than my previous ideas. It was appropriated, but it falls under fair use since I masked out a beach scene and handles completely distorting the original goal of the window. It was also a a free background that had multiple different scenes (wallpapervortex.com). The piece's mood is one of awe and also a contradiction. I say contradiction because the scenes are viewed through a window to the outside and gaming is something enjoyed inside. This may lead someone to think how long it will be when digital reality becomes true reality or when will it become hard to distinguish the two.
