Event: From Cinema to Machinima -- Software, Database and the Moving Image (SF, April 14, 2008)
by Matteo Bittanti
A panel discussion and virtual performance event to explore ways the digital medium has reconfigured the moving image and thereby redefined concepts of cinema. The digital medium has transformed the moving image. Image sequences have become discrete units that can be remixed in new constellations, through software processes or interaction by the viewer. Digital interactivity is connected to databases. The possibility of assembling and reconfiguring media elements from a compilation of image sequences have created new cinematic forms.

Article: Machinima: World-breaking and World-making
by Cristiano Poian
This article aims to investigate the peculiar role of machinima in the construction of new fictional universes out from simulated game worlds. In my vision, machinima represents a double act of world-breaking and world-making that operates starting from the simulated worlds of computer games making new narratives emerge from the deny of interactivity in the system.
