In this episode, Bad at Sports welcomes artist, writer, and thinker Emma Bergman to discuss a range of fascinating topics that blend the personal, the theoretical, and the speculative. We delve into Emma's ideas about utopian conviction and how they intersect with the looming specter of the coming apocalypse, and the games we can play with what is becoming our practical nightmare. From philosophical musings to creative solutions, we explore how different utopian ideologies might intersect and prepare (or fail to prepare) us for the crisis of our future. Personality testing also enters the conversation, as we examine how modern and historical approaches to assessing character and behavior might offer insights—or generate traps—for individuals navigating this new world order and Berman runs the boys of B@S though her system and we learn if they are ready. We also explore the concept of bureaucratic realism, digging into how institutional structures shape our experience and sense of agency in the world, and how to creatively play within these constraints and out side them can establish new paths forward. Throughout this conversation, we playfully touch on ways to solve the future—how art, culture, and speculative thinking offer new ways of envisioning what lies ahead, and how individuals can act within systems and system collapse. Join us for a thought-provoking episode filled with visionary ideas, humor, and practical philosophical discussions. Live for the 21C Chicago!

Philosopher Thi Nguyen first visited us 150 episodes ago (!!) to discuss how social media gamification exploded online conspiracy theories and audience capture drags content producers toward the seductions of premature clarity—and the ecstasy of fascism. Nguyen returns to discuss “value capture”: how simplified and portable metrics in institutions, technology, and media landscapes erode our moral capacities as we pursue goals we never signed up for. (We even consider this influence on podcasting!) Throughout, we also talk about the heart of Nguyen's book, Games: Agency as Art, in which he explores the liberatory nature of games that offer the pleasures of striving and absorption. We wonder whether—if we valued and understood play for its own sake—we might not need to gamify the world.

You might think death and gaming are not connected. But loss is always a part of games as pieces and elements are lost. Some elements of games are fairly abstract (Uno cards or chess pieces), but other elements can be very personal, such as a character you've played for years in D&D or in a legacy type game such as Gloomhaven. Games also address death through theme and content: One Night Werewolf has players killing each other; Village has meeples age and die, to be moved to the graveyard; Endurance face nearly certain death even as a miraculous escape remains possible (Shackleton achieved it, after all!). Such gaming experiences give us vital ways of thinking about and discussing death and grief, as well as suggesting ways of facing our own mortality. How is death represented in games? * It is the nature of games to abstract reality. How to abstract death? * Simplest example perhaps is chess - the piece is removed from the board for the rest of the game * The state is permanently changed for the rest of the game * But we don't care about chess pieces - we care about humans and living creatures (maybe trees?), so games that evoke humanlike characters make us feel loss in powerful ways A word about grief * Grief is a natural & important and unavoidable response to loss * This is not a look at grief, except perhaps tangentially. Interesting examples of death in games * Village - cemetery, legacy * Werewolf - you are out of the game and watch what is happening to everyone else * Games that poke at death in a humorous or horror way - Zombies, etc. * Legacy games where the state is permanently changed even from one game to another * Art games (like the kind Alice Connor enjoys) that represent the emotions of death? Train and Endurance. How do we feel about death in games? When we die or kill off another player? Lessons of faith from death in games * The importance of being present to the moment * Parent and child with potentially fatal cancer playing games together during treatments. Forgetting the treatments. The gift of games is to anchor us in the present. * The permanence of death - Ways of coping when states permanently change * On the other hand, the impermanence of death - Perhaps what Buddhists call the illusion of death?? Life continues. Another wave forms on the ocean. * Reminder of John Glynn * How easily we can become numb to death—precisely by abstracting it—in real life.

Do scientific research articles sometimes sound like another language? To K-12 students, very often it's yes. Tanya Dimitrova tried to help solve this problem by founding the Scientific Journal for Kids, where her team of writers, designers, and teachers translates articles from scientific research journals into more kid-friendly language. Tanya talks about how her time as a science teacher in Central Texas influenced her to found this nonprofit, and then explains all the details that go into collaborating with scientists to make their work more accessible.

Chicago educator and entrepreneur Scott Steward breaks down his teaching philosophy, rooted in getting to know his students. Steward founded Genius Lab in Chicago, where he teaches young people technology, business, and how to become an adult. He honed his curriculum from teaching in Chicago Public Schools classrooms for fifteen years in largely black and brown communities. First Steward traces his youth on the South Side of Chicago, when he did not prioritize academics at all, and then he explains the turning points that took him through the corporate world and eventually to teaching youth who grew up much like himself.

Math is fundamental to engineering education and other disciplines. That's part of why Richard Rusczyk wants to teach kids harder math than they often see in school. As the CEO of Art of Problem Solving, he wants to challenge more young people mathematically, hopefully giving them an earlier chance to achieve math mastery. He talks about national math competition culture compared to sports culture, starting his online education company, and strategies to improve access to deeper math education in K-12.

Kids can learn CAD for 3D printing, but teaching it doesn't have to be a hassle. David Seto and Michael Welch wrote a set of books to make teaching and learning the subject easier. They based it on their own experiences with 3D printing, learning it as beginners, coming from finance and mobile games industries, and then teaching CAD for 3D printing in after-school programs in Hong Kong and the USA. They talk about their book, The 3D Printing Cookbook, and share practical tips for making 3D printing work for young kids.

The pandemic has spurred teachers like Amanda Hough to teach CAD remotely, but how do you do that if students don't have the hardware to run resource-heavy CAD software? Amanda uses cloud-based CAD platform OnShape, and her students run it in a web browser, no installs needed. She talks about her experience switching over to OnShape this year, its place in education even when the pandemic is over, and how she got into STEM education in the first place as a career-changed from marine biology.

Let's make equations musical. Instead of visualizing equations on a graph, let's listen to them on the piano, merging all our math and music knowledge. You can make two-dimensional x-y math equations audible – or sonify them – by translating the x-values to time and the y-values to the keys of a piano. If you can't play them on the piano yourself, we can use the free web app Chordinates! by Pios Labs to do it instead. Listen to the sound of coordinates, linear equations, polynomials, trigonometric functions, and random distributions of notes on the piano, and analyze their patterns. Then take the audio review quiz at the end, complete with extended creative and technical challenges. Got your own reactions to this episode? Would love to hear your thoughts.

You might be familiar with the art featured in video games, but how the SEGA "games" that allowed you to make your own art? Join Skyblaze to learn more about these classic titles that help unleash your creative side!
Welcome to the July Digitally Uploaded podcast! We've got a lot of exciting things to talk about this episode. We start by running through all the big releases in July (it's a big, big month). Then we chat about the educational value of games in light of This War Of Mine being added to Polish curriculum. Finally, we settle into this debate around AAA vs art, and look at the way that just about every big blockbuster game is chalked up as great art. We discuss why this is not only unnecessary, but harmful to video games as a medium. Thanks as always for tuning in - let us know what you think of the episode - and we look forward to seeing you next month!

Ten years ago, Jude Kelly founded WOW – the Women of the World foundation – aimed at celebrating women and girls and the challenges they face in society. The former artistic director of London’s Southbank Centre discusses this weekend’s WOW Festival in collaboration with the BBC, the first to take place online because of the pandemic. Emma Thompson reads one of her favourite poems. It's by Liz Lochhead, the former Scottish Makar, and called Photograph, Art Student, Female, Working Class. How do you set about writing a musical? In the first of a new series, Front Row follows a team of creatives led by writer Poppy Burton Morgan and composer Ben Toth, through every stage of the process of developing House Fire, a new musical about the climate crisis. With art galleries across the world closed, access to art for pleasure and education is severely limited and sorely missed, but some art organisations and games companies have developed games to help art lovers continue to engage with art at home. Gabrielle de la Puente of The White Pube, a collaboration of two art critics, joins Tom to review the Pompidou Centre’s single-player game Prisme 7 and the online multiplayer game Occupy White Walls.

Dr. Jenni Buckley and Dr. Amy Trauth-Nare from the University of Delaware talk about Orthopaedics in Action (OIA), their curriculum in biomechanics and engineering design for middle school and high school students. They used their respective expertise in mechanical engineering and K-12 education to create the hands-on OIA lessons, which originated from an initiative to attract more women into orthopaedics as engineers and doctors. Hear them discuss the curriculum, the benefits of lessons rooted in biology, educational partnerships, and lessons in toy design, among other topics.

Do engineers have empathy? Can they get into other people's heads? How do empathy and the arts relate to engineering education? We talk about this with today's guest, Rachel Fahrig, an educator with experience in high school science and engineering. We also preview our submissions to the SXSW conference, both related to integrating the arts with engineering. This episode was recorded in a market in Austin, TX, so there is some background noise. You can vote for our SXSW proposals on integrated arts and engineering online!

Petite escale surprise avant le podcast des 4 ans ! Hé oui nos auditrices et auditeurs au taquet sur les réseaux sociaux auront repéré l'info : un podcast enregistré en public. Une première pour Je Game Moi Non Plus ! Et pas n'importe quel public car il s'agissait d'étudiants du lycée français Jean-Monnet à Bruxelles. Un public qui n'était pas forcément acquis à la cause vidéo-ludico-culturelle. Et le moins qu'on puisse dire c'est qu'en plus d'être attentifs, ces lycéennes et lycéens se sont avérés intéressés et intéressants lors des échanges... le tout en live bien entendu ! Une proposition audacieuse que nous avons intitulée "Légitimation et transformations actuelles du jeu vidéo" Au programme de cette équipe de choc : - Gaëtan aura quadrillé les enjeux de l'e-sport et des mutations du jeu vidéo au sens large lors de ces deux dernières décennies - Julien s'est attelé à démêler les enjeux financiers et les liens complexes entre le jeu vidéo et des industries culturelles comme le cinéma - Fred aura pris le contre-pied classique du "jeu vidéo inspiré par l'Art" pour discuter du "quand le jeu vidéo inspire l'art" - Antoine nous aura emmené dans les contrées malheureusement encore méconnues des "Art Games", "Not Games" et des fabuleux festivals "beyond the indie" comme l'Amaze (au-delà de l'indé pour les non anglophones) - Et enfin Mehdi se sera chargé de discuter et de faire le "pion" dans cet échange riche en contenu Vous avez le menu : reste à vous faire surprendre par les éléments évoqués par l'équipe... et par les classes du lycée Jean-Monnet. Dans un souci de clarté, nous vous avons préparé à l'issue de ce billet l'ensemble des références, à consulter lors de votre écoute ou en différé. Un immense merci pour l'accueil chaleureux des étudiantes et étudiants, et bien entendu à Emmanuel sans qui rien de cela n'aurait été possible !

That games, particularly video games, could be viewed as art should come as no surprise. And yet, a debate exists over what is and should be considered art with respect to games. In his new book, Works of Game: On the Aesthetics of Games and Art (MIT Press, 2015), John Sharp offers context for the discussion of games and art. To do so, Sharp presents case studies of “Game Art,” “Art Games,” and “Artists’ Games” in an explication of three communities of practice that provide the foundation for the discussion of games and art. Game Art examines the use of games as tools for the creation of art. Sharp, then, examines the Art Game movement that pushes video games into the domain of other humanistic art forms. Finally, Artists’ Games examines the use of video games as an artistic medium that combines the aesthetics of artists and game developers. Sharp also discusses the potential for the the merging of the values of traditional artists and gaming communities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
