AMT is hosting PLAYTECH SATURDAY with Parsons SPACE! This is an open event for students, faculty and the public to converge, especially youth in the Parsons Pre-College Academy, and youth from other organizations around New York City (ages 10-18 years old). We are known for collaborating and creating new ideas and discussions around the fields of art, design, media, games, and technology.

This is a great opportunity to get honest feedback on your interactive projects (youth holds nothing back!) and to take make-believe photos of non-DT people playtesting your project. Last year's event featured a variety of projects ranging from table-top boardgame, hacked kinect games to performance art and we had about 200+ people came over the course of the event! +pizza and pops and giveaways!

#event #playtesting

The aesthetics of video games are rerouted to create works of art that subvert game mechanics and the experience of play. Game artist and machinima maker Chris Burke curates a showcase of artists who are using games beyond their intended purpose, as tools for making art. The exhibited works explore the finite, or “knowable,” potential of the programmed game environment.

Game Art In The Knowable Space presents works that are not games in themselves, but artworks inspired by the treatment of space in video games. Some of the works examine the aleatoric, uncanny aspects of game space while others build out their own spaces to be explored. With artwork from Alex Myers Annie Ok Jeff Donaldson Rosa Menkman Friedrich Kirschner Victor Morales Kent Sheely Tom Murphy VII Performances by Tamara Yadao and mrghosty (AKA Skot Deeming) $10 General Admission $5 Student and Artist Tickets

I'm thinking about going to this one.

Game analysis allows us to understand games better, providing insight into the player-game relationship, the construction of the game, and its socio-cultural relevance. As the field of game studies grows, videogame writing is evolving from the mere evaluation of gameplay, graphics, sound, and replayablity, to more reflective writing that manages to convey the complexity of a game and the way it is played in a cultural context. Introduction to Game Analysis explores the different ways and contexts in which games can be analyzed and dissected, based on a series of basic building blocks. The panel will discuss how analyzing games is part of the practice of three different humanistic disciplines - literature, history and journalism - and the challenges to tackle games as performative texts that are in constant transformation. Panelists: Stephanie Boluk, Pratt Institute Laine Nooney, NYU Steinhardt Adi Robertson, The Verge Moderator: Clara Fernández-Vara

Another event! Go learn things! This is a week from Thursday, so anyone who signs up for it gets to leave class early to get there on time.
