PLAYING POLITICS: HEADSHOT!
In this talk, media artist and activist Joseph DeLappe will describe a lineage of creative projects and actions situated at the intersections of computer gaming, art/technology, and interventionist strategies engaging our geopolitical contexts. DeLappe will detail an approach to considering computer gaming environments online as a new type of public space; within which he has conducted a series of interventionist performances and actions, such as the 2006 project dead‐in‐iraq, to type consecutively, all names of America's military casualties from the war in Iraq into the America's Army first-person shooter online recruiting game. More recent projects include Elegy: GTA USA Gun Homicides (2018), a self-playing mod as a data visualizer of gun homicides in the United States as realized through this popular video game.
Joseph DeLappe is Professor of Games and Tactical Media at Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland. Works in online gaming performance, public engagements, participatory sculpture and electromechanical installation have been shown throughout the United States and internationally. He has developed works for venues such as Eyebeam Art and Technology in New York, The Guangdong Museum of Art, China and Transitio MX, Mexico City, among others. Creative works and actions have been featured widely in scholarly journals, books and in the popular media. In 2016 he collaborated with the Biome Collective in Dundee to create Killbox, a game about drone warfare that was nominated in 2017 for a BAFTA Scotland in the “Best Computer Game” category. In 2017 he was awarded Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts, one of the top awards for artists, writers and creatives in the United States.
POLITICA IN GIOCO: HEADSHOT!
In questo intervento, il media artist e attivista Joseph DeLappe illustra progetti, interventi e azioni creative che si collocano all’intersezione tra videogioco, arte, tecnologia e ideologia in differenti contesti geopolitici. DeLappe considera i videogiochi online una nuova tipologia di spazio pubblico, un palcoscenico virtuale nel quale dare vita a performance di ogni tipo. Gli interventi di DeLappe includono dead-in-iraq (2006), che prevedeva l’inserimento via chat dei nomi delle vittime militari statunitensi della guerra in Iraq nel videogioco di reclutamento online America’s Army fino al recentissimo Elegy: GTA USA Gun Homicides (2018), una modifica del popolare action game di Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto V, che visualizza in tempo reale le statistiche sugli omicidi da arma da fuoco negli Stati Uniti.

Nel 2017 ha ottenuto la Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts, uno dei riconoscimenti più prestigiosi per artisti, scrittori e creativi negli Stati Uniti.
This was one of those crazy Japanese games that focuses on abstract interactions and sounds over linear gameplay. It was very cool.

WHEN MARIO MEETS RABBIDS
How a little studio in Milano convinced Ubisoft and Nintendo that developing a turn based strategy mashup between the Super Mario characters and the Rabbids was a good idea. And how Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle became a surprise hit with both the public and the critics. The definitive feel good game development story.
Andrea Babich is Lead Narrative Designer for Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle at Ubisoft Italy. With Fabio Bortolotti, he hosts the leading Italian retrogaming Twitch channel. Moreover, he's a chiptune composer and an occasional ROM modder. Andrea received his B.A. in Communication Sciences at the University of Bologna with a Thesis on retrogaming. Before joining Ubisoft, he worked for almost a decade as a video game journalist. He is the author of the first academic book on Nintendo's most famous character, I mondi di Super Mario: Azioni, Interazioni & Esplorazioni (Ludologica, 2003) published in Italy. Babich lives and works in Milan.

Games User Research: How to avoid the designer's facepalm
Designers have to tell in advance how gamers will comprehend, feel and interact with their games in order to craft successful gaming experiences and avoid frustration, doubts or uncertainty. And since user testing is a powerful tool to verify designers' intents and predictions, Games User Research is a powerful ally. In this workshop, I will show how the science of user testing made your favorite games perfect and I will provide attendees with takeaways they can use to improve their own projects.
