Let's Play With The World: Games, Art, Activism and other subversions @ IndieCade 2012Gehosted von Johannes Grenzfurthner/monochrom.This panel invites five game designers who are also artists to discuss the boundary between art, games and activism. It is a standard reflex for people to think they are helpless in the face of mighty governments and corporate power. But in a media-based society, everything is controlled by a "cultural grammar of the public space": the habits and conventions of society, our ways of speaking and thinking, the images and stereotypes which give short-cuts to meaning in our lives. That means that the power wielded by big institutions is more like a fluid or a jelly than a solid brick wall, and we can play with it. So let us - as game designers, game players, artists, activists and other fellow nerds - leave our cozy peer-groups and comfy scenes behind, and talk about what we can do to play with the world."TeilnehmerInnen: Nathalie Pozzi, Zach Gage, Kaho Abe, Paolo Pedercini. Auf der IndieCade 2012 (6. Oktober 2012, 13:30) in Culver City, LA. KillScreen: "At Arse Elektronika, the world's biggest gaming and sex conference"Sex games, (and games about sex, and sexual devices with gameplay elements, and so on), certainly have a ways to go before they become "mainstream" in any real way, if they ever do at all. Perhaps that's a large part of the appeal – attendi ng Arse Elektronika – particularly the opening ceremony - felt like an introduction to gaming's most truly subversive and "underground" space, a sort of heady, sex-positive mirror universe to the goings on of say, PAX. These folks are innovating the medium – one dirty little demo at a time.Link monochroms Massive Multiplayer Thumb-Wrestling @ IndieCade 2012Wir werden verschiedene MMTW-Netzwerk-Topologien ausprobieren und einen Mikro-Wettkampf veranstalten!
