Hi, Could you please pass it on? Merci ;-)
*** apologies for cross posting *** The Institute of Communication Design of the College of Creative Arts (Massey University) warmly invites you to participate in the 7th Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment 22-23rd November New Zealand. http://ieconference.org/ie2010/ "Fish of the Day" This yearÂ’s theme: play as an agent for change. In this current economic climate of uncertain- ty, we see a convergence of innovative minds, creative solutions and emerging technologies enabling change. IE2010 will cover how play can contribute to both major and minor chal- lenges we are facing in these roaring times. What can we learn from being inventive and playful? And how can interactive entertain- ment contribute towards facilitating these changes? What do we need to do as designers, developers, critical thinkers and researchers to consider, bring in, promote when faced with these challenges? What is the role of play in future scenarios? We have now 2 wonderful and excellent keynote speakers confirmed: Katie Salen: Game designer and Professor of Design and Technology, and Director of the Center for Transformative Media at Parsons the New School for Design.
