second skin: the dark side of mmo’s

30 January 2008 31 views 2 Comments

Second Skin takes an intimate look at computer gamers whose lives have been transformed by the emerging genre of Massively Multiplayer Online games (MMOs). World of Warcraft, Second Life, and Everquest allow millions of users to simultaneously interact in virtual spaces. Second Skin introduces us to couples who have fallen in love without meeting, disabled players who have found new purpose, addicts, Chinese gold-farming sweatshop workers, wealthy online entrepreneurs and legendary guild leaders – all living in a world that doesn’t quite exist.

about

The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning, New York Times-acclaimed animation Nyócker.

Started LD50 in 2001, a media experiment for him, an alternative community portal for everybody else. Did DJ'ing and promoting for 6 years @ Budapest: the first weekly gothic/industrial clubnights in Bp, the VK/jrock nights Nippon Shoxx and the biggest local industrial/cyber party series called Kollektíva, among many. Spent 2 1/2 years as an IT/science journalist at hvg.hu.

He's chief editor for THE DOSE, an alternative popcultural PDF mag, co-editor for Mondo, a very glossy mag with a focus on Japan and pop culture and he's also working on projects to be unveiled in 2010 and 2011. Has insatiable love for weird stuff, Asian cuisine, pop culture, energy drinks, coffee, eyecandy, Japan, anything with a Scoville rate or a frequency and a life-long devotion to all things on the edge.
