Vignettes
2016

Vignettes is a subtle video game that takes on the bold task of transposing the long tradition of the still life into interactive media. As a video game Vignettes performs a task that two-dimensional still life can never do: reveal the interconnectedness of apparently different objects through real-time animation and playful manipulation. Unlike conventional still life, Vignettes creates radical relationships between objects that may not have been there before, instead of meditating on the form of a single object alone. In print form however, these relationships are again refocused on the essence of objects in the manner of still life painting, drawing, and photography, revealing that 3D modeling is an extension of these media and that the video game artist can have it both ways.
