Robbie Dingo is my digital alter-ego. He resides in the virtual world of Second Life which he uses as a test-bed to explore some of his creative ideas.
Screen capture from a car game I'm developing, an early test run mostly testing the car physics and handling - good fun...
I was invited to work with Kirsty Hawshaw (lovely UK singer) as part of the new Millions of Us - Artist-in-Residence Program. The resulting work is this short machinima created in Second Life set to a great song 'Meteors' by Kirsty. It was a pleasure to work with Kirsty and to be the first Artist in Residence for Millions of Us! - I look forward to seeing other working coming out of their exciting program...
Screenburn is a free video podcast. A work in progress that was started in January of 2008. It is an original story that will unfold over many episodes through machinima.
War-paint. Camouflage. Concealment. Act of self-expression or of belonging to a group. Representation, reflection, or pretense? For protection sometimes; actually often. A curtain, a screen, a veil behind which to hide. A shield, disguise or figment. Often fanciful though - ones persona, like war-paint. Masks and avatars. Behind each, a person, with hopes and fears, with feelings often much deeper than the side they show; actually, always. Video by Robbie Dingo (aka. Rob Wright). Music, 'Harpe...
In Our Time is a re-work of Watch The World(s) - using different music and slightly ammended edit timings. A Second Life Machinima by Robbie Dingo. (Duration 4'56") "In Our Time, we can not only look at art but also look in". Ever looked at your favorite painting and wished you could wander inside, to look at it from different perspectives? Spend a single day in one of mine, from early sunrise on a new day, to dusk when lights come on in cosy homes; through a peaceful night, till morning. Shot...
Many people wrote to me to say that they were sorry that the Sim used in 'Watch The World(s)' was wiped as they wished that they could have explored it for themselves, firsthand :( Although I know it is not nearly the same thing, but here are some of the out-takes that were not used in the film. This is my way of saying thanks for all of the kind and supportive IM's and comments... they are all very much appreciated. (Rob - bie Dingo) Original Music is 'Rollercoaster', written by my good frien...
Watch the World(s). A Second Life Machinima by Robbie Dingo. (Duration 4'17") "Frameless heads on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world and can't forget - like the strangers that you've met". [Don McLean]. Ever looked at your favorite painting and wished you could wander inside, to look at it from different perspectives? Spend a single day in one of mine, from early sunrise on a new day, to dusk when lights come on in cosy homes; through a peaceful night, till morning. Shot on locatio...
A fun work I did recently. Little Ants, busy working together, randomly moving the notes around a bar of music whilst it is playing. This might become the first in a set of works, looking at using the movement of, and interaction between digital creatures to create musical works. Here is a screen-captured movie of what it looks like...
About. (Demo Video is MONO and as such does not include the important changes in pan). DISplace is proof of concept application which enables you to audibly record moments, events, or journeys associated with a particular place and time, then recall and interactively explore these fragments whilst at a different location, or perhaps the same setting at a different point in time? Additionally, you can construct imaginary and composite sound-scapes or musical structures which can be explored fro...
