SUMMARY:Playable City 2014
DESCRIPTION:Playable City conference 2014: Making the City Playable. \nFrom the website: \n\nFrom Stockholm’s Piano Staircase to Bogota’s traffic mimes\, a global movement of unusual city interventions is taking shape\, using playfulness to connect people to each other and the places they live and work. We call it Playable City. On 10 and 11 September 2014\, we are bringing together a brilliant group of thinkers\, makers\, planners and civil disobedients\, to look at cities as playable places and ask how we make and unmake our future cities? \nThe Playable City is a people-centred counterpoint to the notion of the Smart City\, a gateway to a city where serendipity\, hospitality and openness are key. Public narratives around technology-driven cities often feature a fear of isolation\, that community and conversation will be rendered extinct. \nWatershed’s Playable City programme features an international award and global programme of labs\, commissions and workshops\, with projects using technology to connect people to each other and their surroundings. By offering permission to play we effect change – encouraging citizens to re-imagine and re-configure their city’s services\, places and stories. \nThe two day conference will feature playful interventions\, lots of room for networking\, debate and discussion\, an academic track\, some artist commissions and the unveiling of Shadowing\, the 2014 Award. \n\n\nWebsite: http://www.watershed.co.uk/playablecity/conference14/

SUMMARY:Bumbercade 2014
DESCRIPTION:Game exhibit at Bumbershoot 2014. \nCurated by Sam Machkovech \nFrom ’80s arcades to modern smartphones\, games have existed in enough varied\, sustained forms to prove commonplace for an audience as broad as Bumbershoot’s. Still\, as in most creative mediums\, gaming’s more artistic efforts haven’t proven as popular or well-known. Bumbercade will celebrate multiple styles of new-wave gaming to enlighten and enthrall the medium’s uninitiated. At the exhibit\, traditional\, arcade-style games will provide immediate thrills with refreshing new spins on gaming’s old tropes\, while more ambitious titles will showcase a wide range of visual and narrative risk-taking. \nWebsite: http://bumbershoot.org/lineup/artist/bumbercade/

SUMMARY:OtherPlace 2014
DESCRIPTION:Otherplace is an experimental game and play event in Malmö\, Sweden. \nFrom the website: \n\nOtherplace explores the boundaries between fiction and reality\, the playful and the serious. Games have the ability to engage us in conceptual worlds that exist in parallell\, and at times seem to expand beyond reality. Play can disrupt our every day activities\, offer us alternatives to the filters with which we comprehend our realities and let us see old places in a new light. The goal with the event is to allow the local creative activities be mirrored out in the streets\, and to have Malmö citizens take space in the public room. \nThe event is centered around the gallery at Industrigatan 20\, and will be active between 15 and 20. Participation is free\, and even if the main target group is young adults\, all ages are of course welcome! \nAt the event you will be able to experience urban play in the old industrial area\, participate in experimental and playful interaction in the gallery\, create simple games and controls in the DIY spot\, enjoy illustrated art and play games centered around food\, to mentioned some of the activities.

SUMMARY:Game Art Melbourne Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Game Art Exhibition – Melbourne\n\n\nGlitchmark is a Melbourne based playful arts community: an open maker group not specific to discipline. Though we have a focus on games\, we are informed by all kinds of creative practice.\n\nThe aim of Game Art Melbourne Exhibition is to showcase the visual art from and inspired by videogames made in Melbourne. Local game makers are contributing some of the best designed games in the world\, and we want to honour and celebrate that.\nWe also seek to address the problem of games being sold for a whole lot less than they’re worth. We have a beautiful culture of giving and sharing\, but sometimes the amount of work that is put in to a game is taken for granted.\n\nSo we’re having a month long celebration of Melbourne game art! The exhibition features installations\, art for sale\, games for sale\, music nights\, prizes\, game previews and more!

SUMMARY:72 Hour Interactions
DESCRIPTION:From the website:\n“This summer\, for the first time in the history of the Ruhr Area and for the first time in history in general\, one city will become the home of a cultural experiment transferring architecture and urban interventions into the realm of game design and vice versa. Get ready for 72 HOUR INTERACTIONS – A World Championship of Gameful Architecture. \nGameful Architecture can change the scale\, feel and use of a public space. Gameful architecture questions the difference between a ‘serious’ use and a ‘game’? Should cities separate these forms of use? Or should they teach a responsible\, accountable\, open way to play with the urban landscape?” \nWebsite: http://www.72hourinteractions.com

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.
