Book Description
Despite taking steps to ensure a healthy winter, Debbie Redman develops mysterious aches and pains that persist over the Holidays, making the busy season at her hair salon increasingly difficult to endure. Several doctor appointments, emergency room visits, and overnight hospital stays fail to yield answers or relief as her pains transition into paralysis. Eventually, Debbie is rushed to a university hospital, where she is diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. To make matters even more desperate, she soon succumbs to respiratory failure. Almost completely paralyzed, she is in complete agony and unable to move or communicate. When she is finally stabilized, Debbie's sight, her only sensory means of communication, is also taken away. Her mother, friend, son, and husband Jim provide support and tough love with a sense of humor, helping her endure her torturous condition. Surrounded by machines, tubes, and beeping noises, they faced each day with a mixture of fear and courage. What did God have in store for them? A lesson in faith and love? Jim's steadfast love for Debbie held strong through this unbelievable quest to bring inspiration to his wife. With stubborn grit and strength from loved ones, she ultimately rallies through recovery and rehabilitation to return to work one year later.

Game After
Author: Raiford Guins
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262320185
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
A cultural study of video game afterlife, whether as emulation or artifact, in an archival box or at the bottom of a landfill. We purchase video games to play them, not to save them. What happens to video games when they are out of date, broken, nonfunctional, or obsolete? Should a game be considered an “ex-game” if it exists only as emulation, as an artifact in museum displays, in an archival box, or at the bottom of a landfill? In Game After, Raiford Guins focuses on video games not as hermetically sealed within time capsules of the past but on their material remains: how and where video games persist in the present. Guins meticulously investigates the complex life cycles of video games, to show how their meanings, uses, and values shift in an afterlife of disposal, ruins and remains, museums, archives, and private collections. Guins looks closely at video games as museum objects, discussing the recontextualization of the Pong and Brown Box prototypes and engaging with curatorial and archival practices across a range of cultural institutions; aging coin-op arcade cabinets; the documentation role of game cartridge artwork and packaging; the journey of a game from flawed product to trash to memorialized relic, as seen in the history of Atari's infamous E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial; and conservation, restoration, and re-creation stories told by experts including Van Burnham, Gene Lewin, and Peter Takacs. The afterlife of video games—whether behind glass in display cases or recreated as an iPad app—offers a new way to explore the diverse topography of game history.

Silence the Shadows
Author: Sri Siva Sankaran Pathmanathan
Publisher: Sri Pathmanathan
ISBN:
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
By taking a holistic view, ‘Silence the Shadows’, is the exploration of the power shadows can have in presenting an object and, setting the tone of this particular photographic work. As the title entails, this book dwells into a dark and gloomy perception of post modernism, and foreshadows the inspiration for the ensemble of these photographs. Therefore, in order to retain this element of mystery, keen viewers will notice the gradual use of shadows, hiding the subject from sight. Doing so, the overall sequence can be viewed as a deliberate intention to mask any sources of light and, draw attention to the more sinister shift in visual documentation. Mainly in the beginning pages are the images shot in open and bright places, drawing focus towards the details of the subject and landscape. Consequently, this provides an easy insight into the scenery, and leaves little to the imagination. Yet, this notion is juxtaposed with the increasing use of shadows as the book ends. From which, this tests the limits of realism, as the frame’s composition becomes more disguised. Blurred outlines and vague silhouettes begin to haunt the mind, alongside feelings of discomfort and fear. This kind of attention in uncovering hidden corners, may be difficult and invites a timeliness mystery to the photos. As much as ‘Silence the Shadows’, is a photographic expression of the role of light and shadow, it also plays into the story-telling of an illicit affair. It can be argued that as the viewer, one is required to engage themselves into the creative journey, in order to fully immerse into this additional layer. The narrative follows a journey between two strangers, in which their secret inner lives are traced out in the sequencing of the photographs. Likewise throughout, the glimpse appearance of the mysterious couple, inevitably carry numerous rhetorical questions, and heightens the tension in their story. However, not all is revealed at the end, inviting the viewer to give their personal meaning. Interestingly, this initial perceptions likely to change as more time passes.
