Religious Icons Meet Pop Culture Icons in the Work of Soasig Chamaillard

by Susana Polo | 10:26 am, September 17th, 2012

The word “icon” has a number of different meanings today, from the symbols on your computer screen to celebrities, and, of course, visual representations of religious figures. Soasig Chamaillard repairs old statues of the Virgin Mary and in the process turns them into something distinctly different than their original appearance. Her mission isn’t to mock Mary or the meaning she holds for many people, but rather to examine notions of the feminine and the role of women in society and culture. As some one who’s sitting in front of a bunch of action figures that, to me, represent important figures, the juxtaposition of pop culture with culture culture, is something I always find fascinating.

Penelope Cruz’s Ad for Super Mario Bros. 2 Is Actually Pretty Cute

by Susana Polo | 3:31 pm, August 17th, 2012

I think I know what’s cramping your skills, Penelope: your posture. Work that out, and you’ll be back to the gaming supremacy that is the birthright of all older siblings everywhere.

A Super Mario Bros. Level Created With Post-It Notes Because, Why Not?

by Jill Pantozzi | 11:30 am, July 29th, 2012

There comes a point in your gaming life when Super Mario Bros. levels become so engrained in your head you could play them with your eyes closed and still get six fireworks. Perhaps the solution is to then create your own level. Out of Post-It notes. Yeah, why not? That’s what the Final Cut King group (previously of Lightsaber Kitties and Kitten Pikachu fame) set out to do with 7,000 of the sticky reminders. Take a look, you might see some other classic game character cameos as well.

A History of Video Games: From Pong To BioShock [VIDEO]

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:30 pm, June 8th, 2012

This may not be an all-inclusive history of video games but it sure does showcase a lot of my old favorites. Metroid, for one. The coolest part though is, the music you hear is created from the sounds and music from the video games themselves. And it’s pretty catchy. Give it a watch and see if you spot your favorites. What titles are missing that really shouldn’t be?
