Things that travelled: Precious things for special people?
Get PDFOver the last 20 years, considerable progress has been made in identifying the origins of the materials used to produce Roman glass and the
location of the primary furnaces where raw glass was made. Testimony
to the movement of unworked glass around the Mediterranean is
known from shipwreck cargoes and the final links in the production
chain, the secondary vessel-forming furnaces, are also increasingly well
documented.
But exactly how these glass journeys were structured and the networks of trade and exchange in raw glass in the Roman period remain
unclear. The contemporary literary references on the subject are sketchy
and the archaeological evidence is tantalising and open to wide-ranging
interpretations.
Within the early Imperial glass vessel repertoire, emerald green
vessels form an unusual compositional and typological group. Unlike
most of the glass of the late Hellenistic and Roman period, emerald
green glass was produced with the addition of plant ashes. Examination
of the range of forms produced in this relatively short-lived colour also
reveals distinct trends and surprising omissions. This chapter illustrates
how the focused examination of this single glass colour and of the specific vessel types it was used to produce can begin to clarify some of the
essential questions concerning the organisation of the early Imperial
glass industry

Ian Bogost at X-Media Lab: serious gaming
No full textVideo games are usually viewed as a form of escapism: pure entertainment and shoot-em-up fantasy. But increasingly, games are being recognised as educational tools, or as deliverers of social or political messages. This evolving medium is taking on complex environments and issues, and providing a platform for people to explore a world or situation in an interactive way. In this talk at the X Media Lab in Sydney, video game theorist and designer Ian Bogost gives an overview of how video games can benefit human existence.
Ian Bogost is author of "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", recently listed among "50 books for everyone in the game industry". He also wrote "Persuasive Games: The Expressive Power of Videogames", and was co-author of "Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System". He is widely considered an influential thinker and doer in the videogame industry and research community.
