Olle Essvik has been working on a computer game based on Beckets Waiting for Godot<\/em>. A month ago he gave a presentation of the finished first part of it at Gallery 54, and I took the opportunity to record a short video. If you like to play the game you can do so at jimpalt.org\/waitingfor<\/a> and should you want to learn more about the making of and thoughts behind it, you can read an interview in Swedish at konsten.net<\/a> and another in English over at Game Scenes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following that, Andreas Vesterlund is presenting the Skup Palet event week\u00a0Your Mentality is Alert<\/a>. It was a week-long process oriented collaboration which ended with not so much an “opening” as a “closing of the process so far.” In practice, it’s difficult to organize something which looks like an opening without interpreting it as one, but in the video Andreas tries his best to explain what has been going on and some of the ambitions going into it.<\/p>\n

Both videos are in Swedish.<\/p>\n
