SUMMARY:Art & Arcade 2014
DESCRIPTION:Artistic Arcade machines from around the world exhibition. \n\n \nFrom the website: \nArcade video machines are cult. They first appeared in the United States and Europe in the 1970s\, as a new variation on the traditional ‘penny arcades’.  Classics such as Pong\, Space Invaders\, Pac-Man\, Mario Bros\, Donkey Kong and Tron marked the heyday of electronic video games. Many successful games were later released for use on PCs and video game consoles and thus accelerated the spread of home computers. Many artists use arcade video machines as an artistic medium. Not only do they program arty computer games\, they also turn the machines themselves into art objects and installations. The artists convert their machines\, pimping them up with new functions\, creating new game worlds\, playing around with the 8-byte aesthetic and transforming games culture into art. \nThe exhibition at the House of Electronic Arts Basel simulates a ‘video game arcade’ with seven artistic arcade-machines from all over the world (“Painstation”\, “PentaPong”\, “The Machine”\, “Radical ATM”\, “Tesla Arcade”\, “Cage was a n00b” & “Racer”)\, combined with other works of JODI\, Evan Roth\, and Hussein Chalayan. Visitors can\, of course\, not only admire the best of artists’ video arcade creations but also play them. \nCurated by Alain Bieber \nParticipants: \nDjeff\nMOBILESKINO\nHaas\, Wellershoff\, Winter\n//////////fur//// art entertainment interfaces \nAndreas Ullrich / C.

SUMMARY:PRACTICE 2013
DESCRIPTION:3rd Annual PRACTICE Conference – ‘An intimate gathering of top designers’: \n\nFrom the website: \nPRACTICE is designed for a high-level exchange of ideas among professional game designers. Game design is a complex multi-threaded discipline\, and PRACTICE is a unique opportunity to understand and refine what we do when we design games. \nPRACTICE: Game Design in Detail. Where game designers of every stripe butt heads\, share ideas\, and break bread together. \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. \n \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. \nLectures\nEach year PRACTICE features presentations from a variety of expert and accomplished game designers. Speakers focus on design challenges and solutions in a wide range of games\, from AAA videogames to collectable card games\, to indie experiments to military simulations. \nPanels\nIn addition to individual speakers\, PRACTICE features panels organized around topics of interest to working game designers. These panels allow speakers to exchange ideas more freely with each other and the attendees. \nOpen Problem Session\nOpen Problems is a high-energy “open mic” session in which any conference attendee can present a work or idea in progress for discussion and feedback. \nSocializing\nThe best conversations often take place outside of the scheduled sessions\, and PRACTICE features receptions\, parties\, and plenty of time for unstructured interaction. \nSpeakers:\nMichael Brough\nKeith Burgun\nCecilia Dolk &\nMartin Ericsson\nRob Daviau\nSoren Johnson\nMorgan Kennedy\nSusanna Liu\nBrad Muir\nDavin Pavlas\nJake Rodkin\nEmily Short\nQuintin Smith\nWarren Spector\nSean Vanaman\nRobert Yang
