Machinima (Art 343/381: Critical Play)

Artist's Statement: I used Second Life to illustrate my favorite poem, "Theme for English B" by Langston Hughes. In Second Life, my character walks around a virtual Harlem, set in the 1950s when the poem was written. I think together, the video and audio, work to show how some 22 year olds can feel in life. Although the poem focuses on race as reasons for alienation — it can be related to other college students. It speaks to what life experiences create one's theme.
