Tulse Luper Journey // a game


Tulse Luper Journey

Launch project
Investigate the 20th century through Tulse Lupers life. Tulse Luper is the lead character in an ambitious series of projects initiated by film director Peter Greenaway.So far, the project includes three feature films, a series of DVD's, travelling exhibitions, books, publications and this online game produced by Submarine.These are all part of a growing universe of stories, facts, fiction, history and drama based on the adventures of a man who spent most of his live as a prisoner - mistaken for someone important, a spy, a lover, an artist, a writer and an observer.Set against the background of 20th century history, Tulses journey through life reads as a personal, subjective history of events and developments that shaped the world as we know it. Greenaways statement that "cinema is dead" calls for new ways of communicating ideas. This game is part of the search for a crossover format that breaks the boundaries and rules that have been imposed by film, theatre, books, games and other traditional media. Created by developers, artists and students from around Europe, The Tulse Luper Journey explores new boundaries of online interactive media.

Playing the game
After registering for free, you play a researcher who is working the investigation of the 92 suitcases Tulse Luper has packed during his life as a prisoner. Playing 92 different games and working together with other players in the game you can gather information on Tulse Luper, collect all the fragments of a 92 minute new feature movie and discuss your research in a global online community.

VVVV // How To Project On 3D Geometry



Starting thinking about the next version of Instants of Metamorphosis, Graziele Lautenschlaeger suggested to take a look on "How To Project On 3D Geometry" using VVVV. We are imagining a collection of "cubo-creatures" that responds to the actions of the audience, another translation for the concept of a "subject-sculpture". In response to the actions, the sculpture will transforms by playing different moments of several video performances that represents different layers of existence of the creature, going through the physicality, feeling the borders of an imaginary being's body each time more blurred, dissolving...

Acaso 30



It is interesting the way everything concerning our experiences is connected in every single thing we produce... Sending the videos that document the installation Instants of Metamorphosis to my supervisor at ECA/USP, Professor Gilbertto Prado, I suddenly remembered his installation I really like - Acaso 30. The blue naked bodies projected onto the ground. Of course it is a reference to the performance that intends to translate the never-ending metamorphosis process of the A Bao A Qu... the self never-ending process of metamorphosis.
