What new artistic possibilities can we nurture where games and video games become sites of attention? On Saturday June 20 at 5:30pm, we bring together members of boshi's place and Everest Pipkin, Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute, for experimental performances, talks, and presentations questioning what games can become when rules and boundaries between disciplines are ruptured.
In open projector-style, each presenter is given five to fifteen minutes to propose, perform, and reconceptualize play and interactivity as modes of artistic expression. Highlights include a reading of Antigone through the lens of Super Mario 64, the theory of dead and alive time in gameworlds, and a retrospective of GeoGuessr in New York City, amongst many others.
