SUMMARY:New Horizons - De Kunst Achter Games
DESCRIPTION:New Horizons – De Kunst Achter Games (the art behind games) \nExhibition on the mutual influence of game art\, contemporary art & pop culture. Part of Next Gen Art Event 2014. \nFrom the website: \n\nBy displaying games and other art forms next to each other\, the New Horizons exhibition in the Fries Museum is one of the first that really shows how artists from various disciplines inspire each other and how they\, sometimes unconsciously\, borrow from art history. The impossible mazes from M.C Escher return in games like Echochrome and Monument Valley. An artist like Cory Arcangel transforms classic videogames to abandoned landscapes. In the exhibition we show work of a number of leading studio’s\, like Naughty Dog\, BioWare\, thatgamecompany and DICE. To get in mood\, here is a selection of artworks in the exhibition. The New Horizons exhibition is on show from November 21 until March 22 in the Fries Museum in Leeuwarden\, the Netherlands. \n\nRead a Next Gen Art Event & exhibition report on gamesindustry.biz: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2015-01-12-next-gen-art-event-taking-video-game-art-seriously

SUMMARY:PRACTICE 2014
DESCRIPTION:PRACTICE: Game Design in Detail. \nFrom the website: \nPRACTICE is an annual event that takes a close look at the concrete challenges of game design\, bridging dialog across industries. Where else can a console developer discuss level design with a tabletop RPG writer? Or an iPhone puzzle creator debate economy balancing with collectable card game designer? Or a professional sports official share secrets with an experimental indie game artist? No other conference brings together such a diverse group of game designers for high-level dialog. \nWe explore the day-t0-day\, nuts and bolts practice of game design – where the rubber of design ideas and methods meets the road of meaningful\, playable games. Join us for three days of lectures and panels\, workshops and discussions\, mixed with plenty of game-playing and socializing. \nSpeakers: \n\nJonathan Blow\nVlaada Chvatil\nHolly Gramazio\nJake Elliot & Tamas Kemenczy\nSamantha Kalman\nDeirdra Kiai\nDrew Murray\nJohn Popaduik\nAsher Volmer

SUMMARY:QGCon: The Queerness and Games Conference 2014
DESCRIPTION:QGCon is a free\, weekend-long\, interdisciplinary event. The goal of QGCon is to create an open and inclusive environment for discussing the intersection of video games and LGBTQ issues\, however you define them. QGCon brings together academics and game developers to foster dialogues that break traditional disciplinary boundaries. The QGCon organizers believe in the importance of creativity and play as tools for intellectual and personal exploration. \nThe theme for this year’s QGcon is Difference at Play. Some questions inspired by the theme might include: What does it mean to play differently? What does it mean to play at difference itself? In what way can “difference” speaks to questions of race\, gender\, and sexuality for games and those who play them? \n\n\nTickets: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/qgcon-2014-tickets-12537739717?aff=efbnen
