MacDowell Fellowships: 2006

Eddo Stern works on the disputed borderlands between fantasy and reality, exploring the uneasy and otherwise unconscious connections between physical existence and electronic simulation. His work explores new modes of narrative and documentary, experimental computer game design, fantasies of technology and history, and cross-cultural representation in computer games, film, and online media. He works in various media including computer software, hardware and game design, kinetic sculpture, performance, and film and video production. His short machinima films include Sheik Attack, Vietnam Romance, Landlord Vigilante, and Deathstar.

He is currently developing the new sensory deprivation game "Darkgame."
