Baden Pailthorpe, Cadence, 2013, installation view
Baden Pailthorpe (b. 1984, Canberra, Australia) is a contemporary artist. Situated predominantly within the field of new media, Pailthorpe's work increasingly exposes the growing reach and the subtle operations of contemporary militarism, institutions and power. He has participated in over sixty solo and group exhibitions, including the Centre Pompidou, Paris, NIMk, Amsterdam, la Gaîté Lyrique, Paris, the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, ARTSPACE, Sydney, the UQ Art Museum, Brisbane and the Australian War Memorial, Canberra. In 2013, Pailthorpe was the inaugural Australia Council artist in residence at the Australian War Memorial. He received a Ph.D in New Media Aesthetics from UNSW, Sydney, holds an MFA in New Media from l'Université Paris VIII; an MA from the College of Fine Arts, UNSW and a BA from the University of Sydney. His work is held in numerous private and public collections. He lives and works in Sydney, Australia.
This interview was produced by the students of Master's Degree Program in Arts, Markets and Cultural Heritage at IULM (Milan) as part of GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY and it was originally published here. Baden Pailthorpe's installation Cadence (2013) is on display in the GLITCH level of the exhibition.
GVA: Can you briefly describe your education?
Baden Pailthorpe: I started studying languages and culture before moving into art and new media at post graduate level. I didn't set out to be an artist at all; it slowly happened over time.
GVA: Can you name some influences - not necessarily artistic ones - that played a key role in your evolution as an artist?
Baden Pailthorpe: I've always looked up to artists like John Gerrard, Hito Steyerl, Trevor Paglen, AES+F, Omer Fast, to name just a few, since their practices each have a rigorous research component but also excellent execution. Apart from that, my most direct influences are those closest to me, my wife and my close friends, curators and writers, my academic colleagues and mentors. And finally, my exposure to mainstream western culture and media, cinema, video games, music videos etc, has been very influential.
GVA: When and why did you begin using video games in your practice?
Baden Pailthorpe: I began using video games in my practice because they were around me at the time. I was interested in them from an artistic point of view but it was also a question of what resources I had access to. When I was studying for a Masters in Photography, I was struck by the common thread between photographic theories and the photorealism that some video games aspire to. So it felt natural to apply these theories to video games and to use the game environment as a space for creation.
GVA: Why did you specifically choose a video game to make art? What do you find especially fascinating about this medium? Its interactivity? Agency? Aesthetics? Theatricality?
Baden Pailthorpe: I was mostly drawn to the very loaded politics of military games, especially first-person shooters. I spent many hours playing these games as a teenager, but as a student at University I began to understand the mechanics of the game in more complex terms. By treating the game as a sort of ready-made, in the Duchampian sense, a whole world of possibilities was opened up to critique the political and cultural assumptions that are bound up within the very carefully constructed world of video games.
GVA: The creative opportunities afforded by machinima are greatly constrained by existing copyright law, which prohibits many possible uses, including commercial purposes. What's your take on the paradoxical nature of this artform?
Baden Pailthorpe: Machinima is an interesting practice since many game studios now actively encourage this practice for marketing purposes. So it is paradoxical indeed, but it now seems like games studios have identified the commercial benefits of using free labor from their users. I have not made any work in video games since 2013 now, but it still seems to be a rapidly evolving area that existing law struggles to keep up with.

Baden Pailthorpe, Formation (difference and repetition) III, 2011
"Made using an Afghanistan-based video game, Baden Pailthorpe's 'Formation' series, explores the aesthetics and dynamics of opposition. In the work, two opposing forces of US soldiers and Taliban combatants follow invisible waypoints side-by-side. Oblivious to each other's presence thanks to a hacked game setting, the usual violence of this relationship is transformed into a poetic, uncanny rhythm that repeats and amplifies the avatars' movement." (Baden Pailthorpe)
GVA: Would you agree that machinima has democratized the art making process? Has it lowered the entry barrier for creators of video art, as some critics argue?
Baden Pailthorpe: I think video has been democratized for some time, and photography for even longer. And this idea has been around since Walter Benjamin, of course. But the barriers to art making are probably more complex than access the tools themselves. More broadly, the production of 'content' is now the dominant practice. Art still seems to be able to demarcate a special space for video art/machinima etc but the complex barriers within the art world remain.
Baden Pailthorpe, Untitled, 2012
GVA: Can you describe your creative process? What kind of video games did you use to create the Cadence series? What is the relationship between Cadence and its predecessor, Formation?
Baden Pailthorpe: Cadence was made by using a military simulator which has a very flexible editor. So it is more like a piece of production software than a video game. I like using tools in ways that were not intended, to push things to their limits so that new possibilities are revealed. The patterns in Cadence exist in the game but they are invisible unless organised in a specific way. By intervening in the logic of the game and reorganizing its usual operations, magical hidden elements can be revealed. This links back to the artists I mentioned earlier, they all make visible the invisible in some way. They reveal otherwise hidden or obscured relationships that give us a deeper insight into the forces that shape our cultures and politics.

Georgie Roxby Smith, 99 Problems [WASTED], still frame from installation
Born in 1976 in Melbourne, Australia, Georgie Roxby Smith works across a range of disciplines exploring new pathways between virtual and physical worlds. Employing a variety of tools - including 3D graphics, live performance, shared virtual and gaming spaces, installation and projection - her works explore the increasingly blurred border between identity, materiality, reality, virtuality, and fantasy in contemporary culture. In 2010 Georgie was selected for The Watermill Center Spring Residency Program, New York, by an international selection committee of cultural leaders including Marina Abramović, Alanna Heiss & Robert Wilson. In 2011 Georgie completed her MFA at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne. Since 2012 Georgie has been focusing on gender representation and violence in video games, particularly that directed towards women on screen and in online communities. She lives and works in Melbourne, Australia.
This interview was produced by the students of Master's Degree Program in Arts, Markets and Cultural Heritage at IULM for the exhibition GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY (April 4 - July 31, Milan, Italy). This interview was originally published here.
GameScenes: Can you briefly describe your education?
Georgie Roxby Smith: After finishing secondary school I studied Media Arts, specializing in animation and sound art before I returned to study at the University of Melbourne, Faculty of the Victorian College of the Arts as a postgraduate student. I completed a Master's of Contemporary Art and then Master's of Fine Art (by research) specializing in mixed reality, idealized selves, and how we role-play the self online.
GameScenes: Can you name some influences - not necessarily artistic ones - that played a key role in your evolution as an artist?
Georgie Roxby Smith: When I started working in the digital medium, it was not a big scene here in Australia yet, so meeting digital artists IRL at the Watermill Center in New York and travelling to Nevada to take part in Perspectives International Festival of Digital Art curated by game art pioneer Joseph De Lappe was an incredible experience. Meeting and working with my digital peers from across the globe in the one space for the first time (a number of whom I later brought together for a group show here in Melbourne "New Media Art NOW" in 2013) was pivotal. Having curators like Matteo Bittanti bringing together artists and creating a virtual gallery and discussion space through his GameScenes blog continues to be a great inspiration.
GameScenes: When and why did you begin using video games in your practice?
Georgie Roxby Smith: I had been working with virtual worlds and materiality in my studio research during my Master's but the more I delved into the work, the more it became about the self, role play, and how we perform online. I began experimenting with interventions, glitches and the insertion of 'the other" into the virtual norm. Rediscovering the video game landscape in 2012 after years away (which may as well be eons in video game world!) was a key moment in my practice. Immersing myself as audience/player, the possibilities of the medium and my concerns with gaming culture (both onscreen and off) emerged and the work generated itself naturally out of those provocations.

GameScenes: Digital games often create parallel, alternative experiences for its users. How do you relate to the complex relation between reality and simulation? How do you address this tension through your work?
Georgie Roxby Smith: As technology advances, we are increasingly living in multiple realities at once. For a long time we have had one hand in the digital and the other in the real but it's the slippage in between that has always interested me – how much we invest in our virtual selves and avatars, the physical and neurological connections between us and "it", mirrored and glitched real and virtual environments. My installation work Reality Bytes attempted to address this by layering multiple realities, audiences and performances in a myriad of spaces in one time. Since then it has been a process of stripping back and isolating those moments and experiences. The tensions vary with each work – viewers know the protagonist is a "bunch of pixels" yet by repeating and looping acts of violence, as in 99 Problems [WASTED] for example, I create an unease in the viewer. In this work, the viewer's discomfort is amplified by injecting a juxtaposition of humor and a rhythmic soundtrack, courtesy of the suicide gun, that carries the viewer almost jauntily through the work.
GameScenes: The creative opportunities afforded by machinima are greatly constrained by existing copyright law, which prohibits many possible uses, including commercial purposes. What's your take on the paradoxical nature of this art form?
Georgie Roxby Smith: I'm not overly concerned with machinimas limitations as I am not driven by commerciality, rather the best medium to convey the work's concept – and in this case the concept is embedded in the medium itself.
GameScenes: Do you agree that machinima has democratized the art making process? Has it lowered the entry barrier for creators of video art, as some critics argue?
Georgie Roxby Smith: As a contemporary artist, I value concept and aesthetic equally, I don't necessarily relate the majority of machinima with art making. That argument could be (and was) just as easily applied to the photography/painting debate. I don't think artists and critics should be elitist about the medium – if the medium is the best vehicle for the work, the importance should be placed on the work being executed well both in thought and materiality.
GameScenes: How do video game aesthetics affect the overall impact of your work? What comes first, the concept or the medium?
Georgie Roxby Smith: For me, immersive and critical play generates the concept. That said my new body of work is sculpturally based, concept definitely lead in that case.
Georgie Roxby Smith, 99 Problems [WASTED], GTA V intervention, 04:45 (continuous loop), 2014
GameScenes: In your artwork 99 Problems [WASTED] how and why do you use this particular video game?
Georgie Roxby Smith: Grand Theft Auto comes pre-loaded with preconceptions of hyper-violence from both players and the wider community – some true, some way off the mark. The interesting thing of course, particularly in the multiplayer platform, is that the use of these violent actions (and how far they are taken) is completely up to the player. Like Marina Abramovic's Rhythm 0, the audience (or player) drives the act and its level of severity and subsequent consequences. Being open world and dense in its environment and modability – and with these embedded nuances in-game and out - Grand Theft Auto V was the perfect platform for this work.
Georgie Roxby Smith, The Fall Girl, Skyrim intervention, 09' 07", 2012
GameScenes: Do you think that the video game aesthetic is the more suitable one to gain attention to gender issues and to the perception of women in our society?
Georgie Roxby Smith: The medium has been an important tool to demonstrate my artistic concepts and feminist ideals through the de-contextualisation of female protagonists who "exist" within this illusionary world yet represent a greater and more concerning overriding culture. Since creating these works, these concerns have been aired on a wider platform through the efforts of Anita Sarkeesian and are therefore now very much in the public consciousness. As an artist, exploring and teasing out societal glitches that perhaps go unnoticed in the everyday, the wider understanding of these issues signifies to me a moment for my practice to move on and into new spheres – whether or not that includes new mediums.

A young artist from Buckinghamshire, Ollie Ma' is currently studying Photography at Nottingham Trent University. His practice deals "with feelings of dislocation and disconnection and has been informed by the theatrical conventions of epic theatre, as well as the form of storytelling pioneered by John Wyndham called logical fantasy". Ma's latest project is titled Open World and juxtaposes/integrates photographs taken in Grand Theft Auto V with views and portraits shot IRL, inviting the viewer to play a comparative game.
Here are a few examples:

Brent Watanabe is an American artist living and working in Seattle, Washington State. After graduating in Drawing and Painting at the University of Washington, Watanabe has produced a series of projects using systems-based environments operating like networked video game engines and populated by code-generated characters and objects, each with their own logic, intelligence, scoring, and goals. These characters and environments interact with/rely on each other, incorporating elements from their immediate environment, which have included police scanner radio feeds, local wildlife, passing traffic, and the weather.
His latest project, San Andreas Deer Cam (2016) is one of the most original Game Art project of the past five years.

Hugo Arcier, Ghost City, 2016, installation view, Lux Scène Nationale Valence (c) Hugo Arcier
In Hugo Arcier's new installation, the architecture of Grand Theft Auto becomes a reflective and ruminative experience. Inspired by Lucrece's De rerum natura, Ghost City immerses the viewer in a phantasmatic urban environment, devoid of (artificial) life. The atmospheric score by Bernard Szajner makes the experience eerie and haunting. This installation was recently presented at (the aptly titled) solo show Fantômes numériques (digital ghosts) at Lux Scène Nationale Valence and it will be on display until July 9 along with other Arcier's works, including FPS (2016) and 11 Executions (2011). Truly fascinating.

Curated by Tanya Krzywinska (The Games Academy) in collaboration with the MetaMakers
"Videogames are often described in terms of folk art. Sensationalized as fairy tale monsters, seducers that steal people from their families, away from health and creativity, away from social mores into an all-encompassing netherworld at once violent and unreal. Equally, videogames have also been tagged as heroes of the digital age - heralded as changing the way we learn and engage with each other, and offering new material for creating new art forms.
In this series of exhibitions, we look at the relationship of games with other art forms and converse with ideas around art-based approaches to game making and the materials used to make games. We examine games as a lens through which to examine other, more established art practices. We also address the potential for games to take up the mantle of other art forms in the process of critiquing society and creating change."

Paolo Pedercini's artistic practice focuses on the relationship between electronic entertainment and ideology. His machinima Welcome to the Desert of the Real (2006) is currently on display in the level of GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY.
Below is an exclusive interview for GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY, produced by the second year students of the Master in Arts, Markets and Cultural Heritage at IULM University. Editing by Matteo Bittanti.
GVA: Can you briefly describe your education?
Paolo Pedercini: I went to a technical high school and I hated it. I studied in a Media Design University as an undergraduate but I kept myself busy mostly with activism and working on personal projects. I attended the New Media Art Program at the Brera Academy in Milan for two years. I enjoyed several courses but I couldn't stand the administration and the improvised structure so I dropped out to concentrate on some marketing work. I moved to the United States to pursue an MFA in Integrated Electronic Arts at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY.
GVA: Can you name some influences - not necessarily artistic ones - that played a key role in your evolution as an artist?
Paolo Pedercini: My early influences mostly came from the realm of net.art and creative activism. From Franco and Eva Mattes to the Yes Men, from Indymedia to the MayDay network. Net criticism and post-operaismo sort of came along with them. Now I find the independent game community much more stimulating: there is finally an evolving discourse and an experimental practice that simply weren't there back when I started in 2003.
GVA: When and why did you begin using video games in your practice?
Paolo Pedercini: I felt the lack of an alternative point of view within the video gaming field. I believe that if we want to have an effective impact on society we must influence pop culture. I've been making political cartoons and fanzines for few years, I dabbled with journalism and traditional politics. I even formed an anarcho-punk band back in '99. But somehow all these efforts seemed pointless to me, I always felt I was reaching people who already agreed with what I had to say. Also, consider that I grew up with Berlusconi's media empire so I learned very quickly that politics are not limited to what happens in the halls of power or in the sphere of public discourse. Berlusconi's unique mix of free market ideology, populism, xenophobia, and mafia-logic took root in the Italian minds well before his direct involvement with politics. And this happened through approximately twenty years of pervasive, idiotic pop culture.
GVA: Why did you specifically choose a video game to make art? What do you find especially fascinating about this medium? Its interactivity? Agency? Aesthetics? Theatricality?
Paolo Pedercini: Mainly the aspect of systemic representation (or simulation, if you will) and the potential of critical roleplay. My assumption is that is easier to understand an intricate web of cause-and-effect relations by manipulating a playable model rather than reading his description on linear text. Playing a video game is mostly the same as understanding its mechanics. Simulations push the user to consider the "modelled" object as a whole organism in which every part is interrelated with the others and possibly relate it to the mental model they have about the corresponding real world system. The hope is to use them as "cognitive maps" (After Fredric Jameson), as tools that help us think about the social or economic system we inhabit. Role-play in games is often used in an escapist fashion but there are more and more game creators dropping the standard teenage power fantasies to experiment with limited agency and moral dilemmas.
GVA: The creative opportunities afforded by machinima are greatly constrained by existing copyright law, which prohibits many possible uses, including commercial purposes. What's your take on the paradoxical nature of this artform?
Paolo Pedercini: Dada artists didn't ask for permissions to make their collages and photomontages. In most countries copyright laws have exceptions for artistic use and parody (fair use in the US). Issues may arise when machinima creators try to monetize their creations, so the question becomes: How transformative is a particular derivative artwork? How much value is the creator getting from an existing brand and community? The answers can only found on a case by case basis. Frankly, the commercial viability of an art practice should not be a chief concern for an artist.
GVA: Would you agree that machinima has democratized the art making process? Has it lowered the entry barrier for creators of video art, as some critics argue?
Paolo Pedercini: It definitely lowered the barrier for the creation of 3D animation, which can be very technical and labor intensive. I suspect it also provided an entry point for future film and theater directors since you can try out narrative ideas very easily and cheaply.
GVA: How do video game aesthetics affect the overall impact of your work? What comes first, the concept or the medium?
Paolo Pedercini: They have to come together: I always ask myself if it makes sense to tackle an issue through a game form. I have many formal ideas I'd like to play with but that I can't imagine how to employ in a meaningful way. Conversely there are many issues I'm really passionate about but I can't figure out a game that can address them.
Paolo Pedercini,Welcome to the Desert of the Real, machinima, 2006, 06' 37''
GVA: In your machinima Welcome to the Desert of the Real how and why do you use this particular video game?
Welcome to the Desert of the Real is a rather straightforward appropriation and remix of two sources: footage taken in America's Army and text from the "Post-traumatic stress disorder checklist (military version)". The first is the successful first person shooter created by the US Army for recruitment and PR purposes; the latter is a self-diagnosis questionnaire for veterans potentially affected by PTSD. Both elements come from military institutions, but by juxtaposing them I hoped to challenge their order of discourse. America's Army is a propagandistic representation of war, because it's an action packed game that presents an ideal battlefield with no civilian or social fabric, where two symmetrical and clearly distinct teams fight each other in a paintball game fashion. And worst of all, this is presented as a realistic approximation of the military experience. You don't need to be deployed in Iraq to detect the multiple levels of mystification here.
The questions from the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder checklist indirectly reveal the effects of real 21st century warfare on the human psyche. PTSD is mainly an effect of prolonged exposure to stressful situations. It emerges from days, weeks, months spent in an alien environment, where every passer-by could be an enemy and every pile of junk on the side of the street can blow you up. Which is exactly the opposite of the abstract, clean, thrilling battles of America's Army. To me, PTSD arises from the clash between the war we dream of, and the war we (they) are stuck in; between the images used to lure young people to war and the stressing, boring, messy reality of these conflicts. Note that the creators of America's Army always stressed that the project wasn't only about enlisting kids: the public relations component was also important. The Army wanted to have a friendly presence in public, ordinary spaces. They wanted soldiers and civilians to hang out and fraternize. To me this was the most interesting aspect of the whole affair because it showed a fascinating twofold strategy: on one hand you have images of war being normalized and trivialized, appearing in shopping malls, being infused with a generic hi-tech aura, presenting the soldier as just another career opportunity, being overall ingrained in everyday life; on the other hand you have a massive deployment of "technologies of separation" such as simulations, smart bombs and unmanned aerial vehicles to make the reality of war as distant as possible.

The most interesting artworks in the field of Game Art are often conceptual. An example is Tom Durley's I'd Rather Be Playing Tetris (2007), which sits under the umbrella of participatory art. In this piece, the audience was given the chance to either play a game of Tetris, which was set up in one room, or listen to a short talk delivered in another room".
Durley further elaborates:
"The audience were not told what the talk would be about and would not be able to hear it subsequently if they had chosen the video game, equally those who had chosen to listen to the talk would not have been allowed to play Tetris."
The Tetris in question is the 1989 NES game in its original form, not a hacked/modded version à là Cory Arcangel (consider, for instance, Super Slow Tetris, 2004). The talk in question was based on Durley's essay "Video Games and Relational Aesthetics", which attempted to examine the possible similarities between video games and some current art practices - this was part of a dissertation on the concept of fun in art.
What were the results? Durley explains:
The audience was forced into having to make a decision that they would perhaps make quite often, yet not quite so obliquely - they had to choose between having fun (and being entertained) or listening to a talk about art. The group divided fairly evenly when presented with the opportunity, and both parties seemed slightly frustrated at only being allowed one of the two experiences. I found this audience tension very interesting and something which I became keen to elaborate on.

With that in mind, MPHRP embarked upon a training initiative devised in collaboration with both ICMA and ISWAN.
Based upon research and extensive shared experience, the training engages port chaplains, seafarers' centres, other shore-based welfare providers to seafarers and community carers in home countries, ensuring that we reach seafarers in ports and in their home locations before and immediately after piracy and post repatriation.
On 29th & 30th July, a further 22 Welfare Responders were trained in Manila, Philippines adding to the tally of 36 Filipino responders trained earlier this year. Acting MPHRP Programme Director Hennie la Grange led the course. An important part of MPHRP's work is to visit seafarers' families during and after piracy incidents to offer support. Therefore, having welfare responders based in these communities (from northern Luzon to Palawan and the Visayas Region and numerous locations in-between) will help MPHRP reach more families.
Further Welfare Responder courses are planned for South Asia later this year.

Championship outfit Sheffield Wednesday have announced Stuart Gray as permanent head coach following a successful temporary stint in charge.
The 53-year-old has penned a two-and-a-half year deal at Hillsborough, after overseeing a revival in the club's fortunes since being handed the reins on an interim basis in December.
A poor start to the season saw Dave Jones lose his job, with Wednesday six points adrift of safety in England's second tier.
But Gray - who served as first-team coach under Jones - has overseen four victories and three draws from nine league matches, a return that has lifted Wednesday to 19th.
The South Yorkshire outfit also confirmed their participation in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 triumph at League Two side Rochdale on Saturday.
Chairman Milan Mandaric said Gray has reaped the rewards for reversing the club's fortunes.
"I am very happy to say that Stuart has been appointed head coach of Sheffield Wednesday," Mandaric told the club's official website.
"When he was initially asked to step in, his brief was to get us out of the bottom three, get some wins and clean sheets, and make some tangible progress on the pitch.
"Stuart has achieved all those things, he was given the chance to impress and has taken that chance with both hands."
Mandaric also confirmed he is looking to introduce a director of football role to the club in the near future.
"I am trying to implement a modern type of football management and structure of the club.
"In principle, Stuart's title allows him to do the same job, he has full power and responsibility but eventually I would like to introduce a director of football to partner with Stuart and his staff."
Gray has had previous managerial roles at Southampton and Northampton, while also enjoying caretaker roles at Portsmouth and Wolves.

Kobe Bryant scores 42 as streaking Lakers beat Cavaliers
LOS ANGELES -- Even Kobe Bryant has to acknowledge he's on his most impressive scoring tear in a half-decade, decimating opponents' defenses with the flair and determination of the Los Angeles Lakers superstar's best seasons.
And he's got a little more bad news for the Cleveland Cavaliers and every other opponent in his way.
That severely injured wrist on his shooting hand? It's starting to heal.
Bryant scored 42 points in his third straight 40-point performance, and the Lakers blew a big early lead before hanging on for their fifth straight victory, 97-92 over Cleveland on Friday night.
Bryant managed just seven points in the fourth quarter, but two big jumpers down the stretch gave him three straight 40-point games for the first time since March 2007, when he had five straight. With just three of his teammates managing more than one field goal, the 13-time All-Star guard did most of the Lakers' heavy lifting despite that torn ligament in his right wrist -- an injury that would require most players to shut it down for a stretch.
Nobody is shutting down Kobe, who has scored at least 30 points in seven of his last eight games.
"The wrist is feeling stronger, feeling more comfortable," Bryant said. "It's just motivation. Nobody wants to hear about a bad wrist as being the reason why I had a bad game. Nobody wants to hear excuses."
None necessary: Bryant is third in NBA history with 110 40-point games, trailing only Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan.
Pau Gasol had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers, who won their eighth consecutive game at Staples Center since Christmas. Until Bryant took charge, Los Angeles allowed a 19-point lead to dwindle to three in the final minutes of coach Mike Brown's first meeting with the Cavaliers since they fired him in 2010.
"We have to make sure we keep executing offensively so we don't need to rely on (Bryant) so much," Brown said. "It's good to have a guy like Kobe Bryant in your pocket."
Kyrie Irving scored 21 points and Ramon Sessions added 12 for the Cavaliers, who have played eight of their first 11 games on the road. Cleveland foundered in the first half before rallying impressively in the second half, avoiding anything close to the embarrassment of last season's 112-57 debacle at Staples Center.
Daniel Gibson missed a 3-pointer that could have tied it for Cleveland with less than seven minutes to play, and the Lakers missed 11 of their first 12 shots in the fourth before Bryant's 18-footer with 4:02 left. The Cavs had absolutely no answer for Bryant, who went 15 for 31 with four 3-pointers and six turnovers, often dominating the ball while his teammates were listless.
"He's seen every defense that you can throw at him," said Cavs coach Byron Scott, the longtime Lakers guard. "He's one of the smartest players I've been around, and one of the most competitive. So I don't know if it's better for us if he's taking most of the shots and the other guys are getting less, or if he's taking less shots and they're getting more. I don't know. He's just a threat when he's on the basketball court, no matter what."
Andrew Bynum had 15 points and 11 rebounds, and Matt Barnes added 15 points for the Lakers, who finished the first half with an 18-3 run for an 18-point halftime lead. Los Angeles led by 12 points heading to the fourth quarter, but missed its first eight shots and failed to score for more than six minutes, allowing the Cavaliers to pull within one basket of an even game.
"It shows a lot about the character of our team," Cleveland forward Omri Casspi said. "We didn't let it get out of hand. We just wanted to keep our composure, keep playing defense and share the ball on offense, and we knew good things would happen for us. Our guys kept fighting, but in the last 4 minutes, they had a big run."
Just seven players scored for Brown, who rested Metta World Peace and didn't have the services of backup point guard Steve Blake, who has broken cartilage in his ribs. During the fourth quarter, the Lakers announced Blake will be sidelined three to four weeks.
Derek Fisher had 10 assists for the Lakers, getting double-digit assists for just the 15th time in the point guard's 16-year career. Rookie Darius Morris also played 17 minutes in his second career game.
Game notes
Brown said he harbors no hard feelings toward the Cavs and owner Dan Gilbert, who fired him after five successful seasons ended without a championship. ... The Lakers said World Peace is struggling with back spasms and an Achilles' tendon problem, although he wasn't listed on the pregame injury report. ... Lakers F Josh McRoberts returned from a six-game absence with a sprained big toe, but played just 4 first-half minutes. F Troy Murphy also returned from an illness, and Jason Kapono returned from a two-game absence while his wife gave birth to twins. ... Fans included Adam Sandler, Tobey Maguire, Joe Walsh, A.C. Green and three-time U.S. Olympic boxer Rau'Shee Warren.

Links between a number of common respiratory diseases and an increased risk of developing lung cancer have been found in a large pooled analysis of seven studies involving more than 25,000 individuals.
"Associations between various respiratory diseases and lung cancer have been shown in earlier studies, but few of these studies considered multiple respiratory diseases simultaneously," said researcher Ann Olsson, PhD, of the International Agency for Research in Cancer in Lyon, France.
"In our pooled analysis of seven case-control studies involving more than 12,500 cases and 14,900 controls, we found associations between lung cancer and chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and pneumonia, with a greater increased lung cancer risk among subjects with all three of these conditions."
The findings were published in the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Data on five previous respiratory diseases (chronic bronchitis, emphysema, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and asthma) were collected by self-report. Statistical analyses were adjusted for study center, age, employment in an occupation with an excess risk of lung cancer, level of education and detailed smoking habits.
Pneumonia and chronic bronchitis were the most frequently reported previous respiratory diseases. In analyses adjusting for other respiratory diseases and smoking, chronic bronchitis and emphysema were positively associated with lung cancer, with odds ratios among men of 1.33 (95% CI 1.20-1.48) for bronchitis and 1.50 (95% CI 1.21-1.87) for emphysema. A positive association was also found between pneumonia diagnosed two or fewer years prior and lung cancer (OR=3.31; CI 2.33-4.70 for men), Asthma had an inverse association with lung cancer risk, and no association was found between tuberculosis and lung cancer.
Patients with co-occurring chronic bronchitis, emphysema and pneumonia had a higher risk of lung cancer than those with chronic bronchitis only. There was no association between chronic bronchitis and lung cancer among patients with co-occurring asthma or tuberculosis.
"The variations in the associations between lung cancer and different patterns of previous respiratory diseases that we observed in our study may indicate differences in the underlying etiological mechanisms," said Dr. Olsson. "Better understanding of these associations may help guide the type and frequency of clinical surveillance needed for patients with each of these diseases."

Why then do they say that it's not supported? Is there anything to stop me going ahead and using it?

The Government's social housing reforms have hit a major snag with a charity stung by a $6 million tax bill for helping poor families to buy homes.
The Government has been forced to pay the Queenstown Lakes Housing Trust's bill and has introduced a bill to ensure the ruling does not ruin other charities, with potential liabilities of tens of millions, or slow down moves to boost the supply of social housing.
Housing Minister Nick Smith revealed today they had been blindsided by the Charities Commission's ruling last year.
"A number of our community housing organisations have got into the business of assisting people into home ownership. The tax department and Charities Commission has ruled that that is outside the domain, they need to pay tax on that."
The Charities Commission had ruled that providing cheap rent was charitable but helping people to buy was not.
Smith described the ruling as "arbitrary" and said he did not agree with it but could not overrule it.
"That's causing real nervousness for our community housing sector who could literally have bills of many tens of millions of dollars that could wipe them out.
"That is why the Government has firstly provided the $6 million for Queenstown to pay its tax and why we have a bill before Parliament to change the law to make it plain where we have community housing organisations helping people to own their own home that that activity is not taxable and that those trusts can continue to do that."
The Income Tax Amendment Bill would retrospectively reverse that decision and provide community housing providers with the certainty they would not be hit with big tax bills for similar activities.
"I'm confident providing that bill is passed there will be no further difficulty and any need for a further tax grant to any other community housing provider," Smith said.

An independent, third party evaluation of City Manager Kim Kiefer's performance could cost the City and Borough of Juneau up to $20,000 dollars, according to a consultant who made a pitch to members of the CBJ Assembly on Tuesday.
Almond & Associates is a Seattle-area executive search and assessment firm with experience working for Alaska Native Corporations, including Juneau-based Goldbelt. The company specializes in a management evaluation process called 360-Degree Feedback. The review combines electronic surveys of the employee's supervisors and co-workers, with in-person interviews by the assessment firm, resulting in a written analysis based on the input received.
Sydney Gorrell – one of three Almond & Associates representatives to speak with the Assembly's City Manager Evaluation Subcommittee via teleconference on Tuesday – described the benefits of using the 360 process.
"This can be a very positive gift of hearing things that somebody does particularly well," said Gorrell. "And it also gives an opportunity to really clarify any behavior changes that need to be worked on, focused on, or enhanced in some way."
The city's Human Resources department uses 360-Degree Feedback to evaluate department heads. In fact, Kiefer was evaluated using the process while serving as Deputy City Manager in 2011.
In light of a nearly $3 million budget shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year, Mayor Merrill Sanford asked the Almond & Associates team if the city could do part of the evaluation in-house to bring down the cost.
Owner John Almond recommended sticking with a full third-party review.
"People tend not to be as open when 360s are done internally," Almond said. "That's why we've been hired as an external source to come in and help the organization ferret out, what are the real issues. That's why an external source is a little bit better than an internal source."
The city's Human Resources Director, Mila Cosgrove, was out of town Tuesday and unavailable to comment on Almond's assertion.
Assembly members' opinions vary about how to handle Kiefer's evaluation. As of April 1st, she's been on the job for a year. She also spent six months as acting City Manager in 2009, while then-Manager Rod Swope took a sabbatical.
Assemblywoman Karen Crane, who sits on the evaluation subcommittee, expressed concern about the interview process proposed by the Almond team.
"In this case we have a person who has nine bosses, and nine sets of expectations," Crane said. "So my concern in this is that this person is going to get evaluated on nine sets of expectations – and not clear ones at that – and that might color the process in some way."
Almond said the firm would sit down with the Assembly beforehand to get a clear picture of the goals and expectations it wants to use for the manager's evaluation.
"You could be absolutely correct, maybe you have eight different expectations," he said. "But once we start ferreting that out, then it might come back that the issues may be – and I hate to say this – may be more with the leadership of the city versus the manager."
Crane said if the Assembly chooses to go with a third party evaluation, it will be important for members to talk to the consultants as a group, not as individuals.
"I'd like to have all of our comments on the table, if we're going to do this, so that there are no hidden agendas, or someone's evaluated on something that the rest of us do not agree with," she said.
The manager evaluation subcommittee did not settle on a specific recommendation. Mayor Sanford said the committee will present information on all options at next Monday's regular meeting, and let the full Assembly vote on how to proceed.
The mayor says cost will be a big factor in his decision.
"Here we are in a budget cutting cycle still, and we're talking about a number that could be anywhere from $10- to $20,000," Sanford said. "And maybe we need to not do that quite yet. Maybe in a couple years or something."
In the recent past, the manager evaluation process was led by former Mayor Bruce Botelho, who served for nine years before term limits forced him from office last fall. Botelho wrote a draft evaluation. Then the full Assembly met in executive session with the manager to discuss it, before directing the mayor to make any changes.
Besides Sanford and Crane, the manager evaluation subcommittee includes Assembly member Carlton Smith, who is in favor of a third-party review. Assemblymen Loren Jones and Jerry Nankervis also attended Tuesday's meeting, though neither spoke.
