Time Based Artist Proposal

For this project I am going to study Cory Archangel.  I am attracted to his work because it is based around games or in some cases it is the fact that you "play" his art.  My project will relate to his in the fact that it features games, I will not however mod the games into a playable format as it is not in my interests.  I will use games in order to acquire footage that I can edit after I learn how to use after effects on Wednesday.  I will record footage to my computer in order to edit out the player character. After this point I will hopefully use green screening to edit myself into the character's place.  It will be a form of a simulated virtual reality.  I will probably stick to older previous generation games since the graphics are a bit rougher and could not show editing errors out in the open.

So I will be appropriating content from these games, but it will be footage that I have recorded myself.  I will be editing out characters or other elements in order to put the focus on myself as opposed to the game.  Also most of his work involves appropriated content so it would be hard to give a nod to his work if I did not, even though I am doing something similar and not exactly the same as him.  All in all, I am not violating the law since I am changing my own footage of the game and not hacking into the game itself to remove game footage and data.
