Game Design Workshop for Middle Schoolers

Saturday, February 7, 2015

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

5th Ave at 89th Street

New York City

This Game Design Workshop for children ages 11–14 was a free one-day workshop with a Guggenheim educator and a video game industry professional that investigated game design principles and architectural concepts. Just as architect Frank Lloyd Wright was challenged to create a dynamic visitor experience in his design for the Guggenheim, participants explored how to create fun experiences for players through hands-on and digital projects. Created in collaboration with the 2014–2015 STEM Challenge, The Institute of Museum and Library Services, The Joan Ganz Cooney Center, and E-Line Media.

AN EVENT PRESENTED BY THE MASTER OF ARTS IN GAME DESIGN AT IULM UNIVERSITY

FOCI + LOCI

TOPOS

Topos is a long-term WIP and a game art performance combining a two-channel video projection of artist-built game spaces. The piece examines the cultural shift from the mechanized, topographic 20th century to the topological experience of the digital era through virtual, kinetic portraits. Subjects will include modernist artists concerned with time and movement such as F.T. Marinetti, Claude Cahun, Scott Joplin and others. Navigating custom game spaces in real time, the performers will explore the grand shift from the physical to the virtual.

foci + loci evolved through a fascination with the malleability of virtual space paired with an interest in electroacoustic improvisation leading the duo (Chris Burke and Tamara Yadao) to design spaces that could be “played” as instruments. foci + loci received a NYSCA grant for 2013 to develop their full scale game art performance installation ‘Bal(l)ade’. Tamara received an American Composers' Forum grant in 2015 commissioning the music for foci + loci's "Another Kind of Spiral" which premiered at Cluster Festival in Winnipeg with a performance at Centre Georges Pompidou following soon after. Other performances and exhibits include GAME VIDEO/ART. A SURVEY an official exhibition of the 21st Triennale of Milan, Vector Festival in Toronto, Babycastles, The Stone, and Joe's Pub in NYC.

MACHINIMA AND THE ALLURE OF EPHEMERALITY: GAMEPLAY, LIVE STREAMS & DIGITAL CULTURE

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

In this talk, Jenna Ng will address the explosion of interest in the live streaming of gameplay as witnessed in the popularity of Twitch, whose latest number of daily active users has reached 15 million, as well as other major platforms such as YouTube Gaming, Mixer, and Facebook Live. Specifically, the talk will link the current phenomenon of video game live streams with machinima and its origins in game demos and captured videogame play, arguing not only for live streams to be the next logical evolution for machinima, but also for a critical theorisation of screen media that pursues a realist trajectory, one which potentially works its way from neorealist cinema to drone culture.

Jenna Ng first trained as a finance lawyer in Singapore and London before switching to film studies, in which she obtained a PhD from University College London (UCL), and currently teaches film and interactive media at the University of York, UK. She is the editor of Understanding Machinima: Essays on Filmmaking in Virtual Worlds (Bloomsbury, 2013) and her current book project, Undoing the Screen: Space, Spectacle, Surface (Palgrave), explores the effacing of screen boundaries in relation to contemporary display technologies and the resulting erasure between images, objects, surfaces and spaces.

This is a scene for a Flash point and click based game which has never actually seen the light. The game was called Hide and Seek and revolved around the story of a group of kids that after entering an old haunted mansion they never made it out. It was up to the oldest lad of the group to rescue his friends and get them safely out of the house.

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.

Joseph DeLappe è Professor of Games and Tactical Media presso l’Abertay University di Dundee, Scozia. La sua pratica privilegia le performance di gioco online e in pubblico, la scultura partecipativa e le installazioni elettromeccaniche sono state esposte negli Stati Uniti e a livello internazionale. Ha creato installazioni site-specific per Eyebeam Art and Technology a New York, The Guangdong Museum of Art, Cina e Transitio MX, a Città del Messico, tra gli altri. Le sue opere e performance sono state citate su riviste accademiche, libri e mass media. Nel 2016 ha collaborato con il Biome Collective di Dundee per creare Killbox, un videogioco che tematizza l’uso dei droni finalista dei premi BAFTA 2017 nella categoria Best Computer Game. Nel 2017 ha ottenuto la Guggenheim Fellowship in the Fine Arts, uno dei riconoscimenti più prestigiosi per artisti, scrittori e creativi negli Stati Uniti.
