[PDF, 1.3MB] About the Conference The 7th Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment is a cross-disciplinary event that brings together researchers and practitioners from many areas of game design, including interactive design, cognitive science, computer science, drama and psychology. The conference is hosted by the Institute of Communication Design, College of Creative Arts, Massey University Wellington, and is endorsed by the Association for Computing Machinery and the Design Research Society. Our keynote speakers this year are Katie Salen, Professor of Design and Technology, and Director of the Center for Transformative Media at Parsons The New School for Design in New York. Salen is a leading game theorist and researcher, and co-author of “Rules of Play”, a textbook on game design. Locally we are joined by Joe Bleakley, Art Director for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and King Kong, and a leading creative force in the New Zealand film and television industry over the past 30 years. Theme: Fish of the Day In this current economic climate of uncertainty, 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 challenges we are facing in these roaring times. What can we learn from being inventive and playful? And how can interactive entertainment contribute towards facilitating these changes? What do we – as designers, developers, critical thinkers and researchers – need to consider, bring in, and promote when faced with these challenges? What is the role of play in future scenarios?
