: Learn to Play: Open Call : mkapolka August 15, 2010, 09:15:47 AM Hello all,
Learn To Play (http://learn.toplay.us) is an exhibition of artful games that will be at the Euphrat Museum of Art in Cupertino. We are asking for your games! Get your work featured alongside Brenda Brathwaite, Catherine Herdlick, Jason Rohrer, and Adam Saltsman (aka Adam Atomic)! I know this forum is for art that is ~not~ games, but I think some of you would be interested either in submitting games that you've made or works that are sufficiently "game like," so to speak :P. The official call follows: What makes a game art? Is it a compelling experience? A story that cannot be told elsewhere? Learn to Play is an art exhibition of video, board and social games. The show will be held this fall at the Euphrat Museum of Art at De Anza College, Cupertino (http://www.deanza.edu/euphrat/) as parallel programming with 2010 01SJ Biennial (http://01sj.org/). The theme is “build your own world.” The game industry is very heavily white male oriented, and the experience in blockbuster games and in conversations around these games reflects this. Where are the developers of color? Where are the queer game developers? We are looking for stories, ideas, and compelling issues from underrepresented communities, games that bring us to greater understanding about race, class, social issues, or current political, economic, international issues. Our next deadline is August 27th. If you are interested, or know someone who is, send a link to your work to info@toplay.us along with a brief description of the work and contact information. If you have any questions feel free to reply here or email us at info@toplay.us. |
