Far Cry 3 And The Stranger In A Strange Land Just in case you blinked and missed it, the Grand Text Auto exhibit at UC Irvine’s Beall Center for Art and Technology opened on Thursday, with opening symposiums and performances on Friday. Even if you missed the opening events, the exhibit will be open until 14 December. More information on the exhibit after the jump:
The University of California – Irvine’s Beall Center for Art + Technology will be hosting an installation called (astonishingly enough) Grand Text Auto, featuring work by the gang of six that make up the Grand Text Auto blog: Noah Wardrip-Fruin, Mary Flanagan, Michael Mateas, Andrew Stern, Nick Montfort, and Scott Rettberg. This is pretty neat since it’s apparently the first time a blog has made the jump from blog to physical exhibit (and a very interactive one, to boot). There are a lot of sections planned: Noah’s Screen, developed in collaboration with Josh Carroll, Robert Coover, Shawn Greenlee, Andrew McClain, and Ben (“Sascha”) Shine will be there for you to experience in 3D splendor. Mary’s [giantJoystick] , a ten-foot-tall Atari joystick, will make its United States debut and provide massive multi-player fun.
