Kent Sheely is an artist who works extensively with videogame aesthetics and mechanics. He has been involved with in-game photography on several projects, many of which deal with interesting experiments on concepts of war, images, and games.
Selected projects:
Youtube Shooter
An overlay for YouTube that mimics the view associated with First Person Shooter games, turning otherwise pedestrian and innocent scenes into dangerous situations. Viewers are given the ability to pick from a series of “levels.”
Aspect
A meditation on videogames, dreams, and walking with our shadows.
Vocal track excerpted from “Man & His Symbols” (Audiobook) by Carl G. Jung.
