Games Art does exactly what it says on the tin; art that uses, abuses and misuses the materials and language of games, whether real world, electronic or both.

The Games Art networking event will bring together artists, gamers, hackers, theorists, curators, activists, thinkers and doers all of kind. People who work and play with games, video games and playful practice.

What Will Happen?

The event will kicks off with presentations by Corrado Morgana, Tassos Stevens (Coney), Ruth Gibson and Bruno Martelli (igloo), Holly Gramazio and Daphne Dragona, followed by discussion.

Refreshments follow, and we’ll encourage you all to take part in an informal show and tell, so bring along some representation of your work, websites, objects, prototypes, whatever you have (within reason!) We will round off the event with an open mic session of quickfire presentations; present your own or other’s work, offer services and skills to other projects or make a request for help with getting stuff done.

Part of the London Games Fringe, a festival of alternative gaming events at the end of October 2008, organised by artists, academics, gamers, game developers, educators and creative professionals from a wide range of different media: www.londongamesfringe.com.
