Dear all,
I have been following the conversation all along.
As a a quick personal introduction I can tell you that Iım writing from
Buenos Aires, Argentina were Iıve coordinating an exhibition based on games
+ art + technology since 2009, the exhibition is called ³Game on! El arte en
juego² We started working mainly with video games and in time incorporated
playable media, performances and different kinds of artistic expressions
that merged technology and games. We focus on the experience of the
public/gamer and on the concept and aesthetic of the works exhibited, we
have a proposal similar to those of Playful Arts Festival or A MAZE and were
born almost simultaneously. Studying, analyzing and experimenting with what
we could call the playful culture. The first exhibition was held in my own
art gallery and then we started working in collaboration with Artistic
Cultural Centres, Universities and Festivals in LatinAmerica.
For what Iıve been reading this conversation has a different orientation.
You are wondering about the design process behind the games and the role of
Museums in this matter. Thinking on that I strongly recommend Douglas Wilson
phd
thesis:http://doougle.net/phd/Designing_for_the_Pleasures_of_Disputation.pdf
and definitely agree with those of you connecting game-design with
performance and dance.
Any exhibition dealing with games must be tough as playable, as something to
be lived, since the subject in discussion is the experience itself. So
perhaps we should continue with that logic and if we want to reflect on the
process behind the game, we may think the exhibition as a playable thesis
exploring different paths on game-design and its associations with other
arts.
Iım working on my master thesis on art-games and panful culture, so Iıll
keep following this conversation and contributing from were I can.
Best,
Lujan
