This Monday from 4-5pm stop by the Los Angeles Center for Digital Art to create your own Mechanical Olympics video. I’ll be there with a camera (probably just a flip or my iPhone camera, as it is a low-fi project) and some goofy props. All you have to do is show the camera your best Olympic-style performance. You can swim, play baseball, tennis, soccer, hockey, or make up a new sport. Anything goes.
For the duration of the exhibit I have put together a “best of” video reel featuring highlights from past Mechanical Olympics. It’s hard to believe this project has lasted as long as it has, but it’s fun to review some of the creative videos made for the 2008 and 2010 Games.
