BLIND & VR: UN POSTMORTEM
Un piccolo studio italiano avvia nel 2014 lo sviluppo di Blind, un’avventura narrativa in realtà virtuale che vedrà la luce nel 2018: dopo quattro anni di sviluppo e otto mesi dall’introduzione sul mercato, il fondatore e game designer Matteo Lana fa il punto della situazione, ripercorrendo le tappe fondamentali del progetto. In questa presentazione, Lana illustra il percorso travagliato tra tecnologie emergenti, imprevisti, successi e “quasi fallimenti", competitor inaspettati e un team di sviluppo a dir poco fluido, per arrivare a rispondere alla domanda che ogni game designer si pone praticamente tutti i giorni: Ne è valsa la pena?

The Globaloria team travelled to Huntsville, Alabama to familiarize new teachers with the Globaloria program, how to implement it in their classrooms, and engage their students on their game design journeys.

To celebrate Digital Learning Day at Tygarts Valley Middle and High School, Globaloria students invited friends to join them in class, learnt about computer science, game design and coding, and brainstormed ideas for the upcoming games to build.
On November 27 2019, game designer Pietro Polsinelli led a workshop on merging storytelling principles and game design tools for the students of the Master of Arts in Game Design at IULM University. The workshop took place at Cascina Moncucco during GAME CONTEXTS, one of the Program’s core courses. It was also open to all alumni of the M.A. Program.
When defining the narrative of a game, even at the concept level, it is useful to write down short characters bios, articulate the game's background universe, outline the possible endings and so on. Writing a sample dialogue or textual introduction can reveal several hidden or undefined features required and how they should interact with the game mechanics. Polsinelli will illustrate the development of the recent Football Drama, and how that process was expanded for his next project, Roller Drama concept design, pointing out some specific concepts needed when making narratives and mechanics interact. Students will work together with Pietro to add narrative background research and mechanics to their projects.
Pietro Polsinelli is a game designer and developer, mostly working on applied (a.k.a. educational) games. He co-authored a book on applied games in Italian and is currently writing a book on applied games (in English) titled Explaining With Games.

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.

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.
