De ce ai nevoie ca să creezi un joc? De ce ai nevoie ca să creezi un joc în spațiul public? Timp de 3 zile, 3 jocuri din Biblioteca de Jocuri Publice vor fi desenate cu creta în 3 spații publice din Timișoara. Instrumentele de joc sunt obiecte de cretă, obiecte care prind forma în urma jocului, urme ale instalațiilor performative ce vor ocupa orașul. Cu ajutorul lor vom instala 3 jocuri în 3 zone din Timișoara, între blocuri, în spații publice, în apropierea parcurilor sau a parcărilor.

Dacă ai drum prin Timișoara, în perioada 26-28 octombrie 2023 s-ar putea să dai peste un joc din Biblioteca de Jocuri Publice. Dacă nu-l găsești, nicio problemă. Intră pe www.institutuljocului.ro și urmează instrucțiunile pentru a instala chiar tu un joc din Bibliotecă.

///

Cele 3 jocuri au fost instalate în cartierul Circumvalațiunii, zona Calea Martirilor și în apropierea râului Bega. 

După ce jocul este desenat ai timp limitat să vii să joci. Instalațiile-joc sunt efemere, realizate cu creata, dar formele de desenat, instrumentele de joc rămân în spațiu și poți veni să completezi, să modifici regulile, să-ți creezi propriul joc.

Instrumente de Joc și Biblioteca de Jocuri Publice fac parte din Institutul Jocului, spațiu de cercetare și creație de jocuri active. Locațiile au fost identificate la fața locului și cu ajutorul BETA și a Ordinului Arhitecților Timișoara.

Hey @elodieunderglass, other nerds on this webbed site, et al, can I have a signal boost for a very silly request?

you know the motif of snails in medieval art (snart)

I'm looking for a particular master's thesis on this topic, which was:

- probably written within the last 6 years

- definitely within the last 10 years

- the author is probably a woman and

- probably did the masters in the USA

Given snail art (snart) as a topic, there's a nonzero chance the author is a fellow tumblrina

I've shared a few pretty straightforward images using my CRT effect, but not much yet that really shows off what an over-engineered monstrosity I've created.

For a start, it's actually 3D. I built most of this in Blender.

Except for the optional bit that simulates composite video artifacts. I wrote that part in shader code and apply it to the base image as a separate step.

I made a high-res shadow mask texture, so it looks pretty good even from absurdly close up.

I can also adjust the scanline hardness and swap the slot mask for a dot mask or aperture grille to simulate different types of display.

Raytracing the whole thing ensures that all of these little details look nice and get sampled correctly, and if I want to change the glare reflecting off of the screen...

...I can adjust it by rearranging the furniture in the room.

So... yeah. That's what is current going on whenever I post pixel art with my CRT effect. It's not quite perfect yet, but I think it's getting pretty good.

Not Rocky, only sucky — A record of the unauthorized use of my photo in Oliver Clegg’s work

This article documents the events surrounding the unauthorized use of one of my photographs in a work named Rocky by Oliver Clegg, from the initial discovery through to the current situation.

Please consider this a formal report for those who have supported me.

September 7, 2021

I posted a photo of my cat Kofuku and Mr.J.

At the time, someone even made a pixel art version of it, and many people enjoyed it together.

January 2023

A kind follower sent me a mention to a post introducing a “work” by Oliver Clegg.

Clegg later claimed he had tagged my Instagram, but in fact he had created a brand-new tag called “straycatmrj.” This has also been documented.

By that point, someone had already annotated his work via Hypothesis, raising questions about his use of materials.

February 2025

The traced work resurfaced. I began an investigation.

That same month, I consulted a lawyer through an initiative supported by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs:

Bansou.Support – a legal support service for copyright infringement and similar issues on the internet.

I was informed that:

Because the image is viewable online from Japan, this constitutes copyright infringement under Japanese law.

In my case, this use clearly does not fall under fair use.

My rights are protected internationally under the Berne Convention, regardless of the creator residing in the United States.

April 2025

Once again, I saw another traced work posted.

The uploader promptly removed the post and even issued a follow-up to explain the situation. I deeply appreciate their response.

However, the traced image continued to be reblogged.

I decided to follow through on my prior consultation and contact the gallery representing Mr. Clegg.

April 30, 2025 (JST)

I contacted the gallery directly.

A lawyer had advised that “this kind of issue is often treated seriously as a matter of credibility by galleries, so it’s worth contacting them.”

However, I received no response—perhaps because I am merely a Japanese individual blogger.

May 3, 2025 (JST)

I sent a follow-up message, stating that unless I received a response by the close of business on May 6 (EDT), I would make the findings public.

May 7, 2025

With no reply, I published the facts and timeline on Tumblr.

Many people offered support. However, I also witnessed comments that ignored all legal context, and some individuals spread false assumptions and slander.

Such baseless speculation only reveals more about the mindset and behavior of those making it.

I would like to take this opportunity to again express my sincere gratitude to those who responded respectfully and supported me.

May 8, 2025

24 hours later, with more response than expected, I published a follow-up thank-you note in the form of a reblog.

May 9, 2025 (Night)

60 hours later, I discovered that the relevant Tumblr tags were no longer functioning.

I suspected a technical issue—or possibly a report by someone connected to the other party.

I contacted Tumblr Community Support, and they responded promptly, stating that the issue had been resolved and would be reflected within 24 hours.

Shortly thereafter, the tag search functionality returned to normal.

May 10, 2025

72 hours later: search results had shifted.

Tumblr Search When searching for the artist’s name, I noticed that the specific work featuring my cat no longer appears in search results.

Google Image Search The image now appears to be filtered under SafeSearch.

Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported and stood with me.

Thanks again to everyone who helped clarify the origin of the image.

(This post may be useful to those researching digital appropriation or copyright boundaries in art.)
