Art of Science: DIY Lava Flow

Recently, I read an article about a DIY lava flow that was conducted by the Syracuse Art and Science Professors at the University of Syracuse. This man made DIY project was conducted at the parking lot and proved to be an effective project. Personally, being able to see this in person would be a great benefit. Having taken a geology course in the past, I realized that having to memorize igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks was less exciting compared to witnessing a lava flow.  The combination of science and art to create a DIY lava flow is an outstanding influence towards geology, technology and visual aesthetics.

Visual Multimedia of Journey

One such game that, I believe, is successful in evoking emotion and visualization is a title known as Journey. The purpose of the story is to immerse the player into a world where exploration is the key to uncovering the mysteries of the landscape. Along the way the player will encounter one individual who you can decide to travel with or go solo on this journey. In addition, the player and the other individual are anonymous and the only form of communication is sound.
The reason why I decided to blog about this is because of the recent planned release of the stories art which will allow for more visualization of the games production.  Overall, this game is a short indie developed game that  believe is worth the experience.
