Machinima? Nothing new ... Once upon a time

Peter pointed out to me in a comment to the previous post that the phenomenon of which I speak is nothing new and exists since the first episode of Quake. Ineffective the voice machinima on Wikipedia dates the phenomenon to the early 90s and identifies the roots even in the demo a little psychedelic with which most of the pirates signed their performance during the early '80s. In my view, however, the most interesting part of Wired is summed up in that "for the masses." I believe that after all is only one aspect of a more general tendency to create / edit. Until a few years ago the masses could only benefit from these content. Today, thanks to a series of widely available technologies for the production and distribution of content, a growing band of people can experience the thrill of participating in mass communication from the perspective of the issuer and the recipient. Mass communication is no longer "read only". This process, "Getting Media" will have an impact today, it is difficult to understand the size but, in my view, can be compared to other historic transition characterized by access to certain technologies of mass communication (see the printing press of which still struggle to understand the real consequences on the structure of our society). Obviously il fenomeno dei machinima (e dei bellissimi fumetti realizzati con il motore di Half Life che segnala Pietro ) si presta a molti altri livelli di analisi fra cui quello estetico sul quale, per la verità, non so molto.
