While no one wishes that Dr. George had won over him in 2015 more than me, I am perfectly fine with him and Chivo couping another Oscar. Yes, I do think that Birdman deserved all the Oscars, I do think George Miller should have won for Mad Max: Fury Road. I really thought he was going to win to when Fury Road went on its sweep, but alas I think that there was still too much of the old guard left. I think things are slowly changing, but it's hard to tell for sure. I'm still happy with this news though, and maybe this means that AMPAS won't be as reluctant to give out special awards like this. When watching highlights from past ceremonies, it seems like they did that more often, but I read that they haven't done it since 1995. While I don't want special Oscars to be given out all the time, I think that could be a way to honor something like Andy Serkis's masterful motion capture work and things like that. |

For a larguage, discipline, experience (?, I don't even how to call it) relatively new it's a huge step for the Academy, to take a look at a different technology and one that still is in development, it's like going all the way back to the first visual effects oscars, it's historic.
I've experienced a few installations in the past, including Carne y Arena, and I have to say this is the one where the use of the advantages of this particular language are put on display in a more effetive way but not exactly for what you're experiencing at the moment, this is why I think this whole thing is a work in progress, there are many factors that can keep you aware of what's happening and not get lost in it, for me it was from the enormous glasses, the sounds to even the location of the installation, although it's an abrassive atmosphere but I chose to be an observer, keeping my distance ( that's why I think is not effective, it can't pull you in instantly ) but what happens after the experience is strangely (or not) what makes it worth, which involves a more common action watch a screen and read. But yeah, good for this new award, and I hope in the near future VX driven films and CGI cinemetography also have an special category, I think it's undeniable at this point.

What, pray tell, is this thing? And how could I try it out for myself?

This is AGI's 5th Oscar, right? He might as well set the record for most Oscars won by a director by the end of his career.
