2011: Perspectives on the Gamer Conference" in June. Please see the
call for practice below.
Under the Mask 2011: Perspectives on the Gamer Conference
Friday 3rd June 2011
Research Institute for Media, Art and Design
University of Bedfordshire
Luton Campus, Park Square
Luton
Bedfordshire, UK
Practice Proposals
Without the gamer, games do not exist. As Galloway reminds the
reader, games are simply rules waiting to be enacted by the player.
Under the Mask aims to address the issues that surround the player of
digital games as contributor, consumer and propagator of their
culture, not only through presentation and discussion, but also
through actively engaging with games and their users.
As part of the conference, we are keen to support the practice of
making games and game-related artefacts. If you have a game proposal
you would like to run at the conference, or have any projects, works
in progress, etc you would like to display/have people play on the
day, we would like to hear from you.
The deadline for practice-based submissions is 2nd May 2011. We will
discuss submissions with you on a rolling basis up until this date.
Please email submissions to [log in to unmask]
