Games and art have intersected at least since the early twentieth century, as can be seen in the Surrealists' use of Exquisite Corpse and other games, Duchamp's obsession with Chess, and Fluxus event scores and boxes--to name just a few examples. Over the past fifteen years, the synthesis of art and games has clouded for both artists and gamemakers. Contemporary art has drawn on the tool set of videogames, but has not considered them a cultural form with its own conceptual, formal, and experiential affordances. For their part, game developers and players focus on the innate properties of games and the experiences they provide, giving little attention to what it means to create and evaluate fine art. In Works of Game, John Sharp bridges this gap, offering a formal aesthetics of games that encompasses the commonalities and the differences between games and art. Sharp describes three communities of practice and offers case studies for each. "Game Art," which includes such artists as Julian Oliver, Cory Arcangel, and JODI (Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans) treats videogames as a form of popular culture from which can be borrowed subject matter, tools, and processes. "Artgames," created by gamemakers including Jason Rohrer, Brenda Romero, and Jonathan Blow, explore territory usually occupied by poetry, painting, literature, or film. Finally, "Artists' Games"--with artists including Blast Theory, Mary Flanagan, and the collaboration of Nathalie Pozzi and Eric Zimmerman--represents a more synthetic conception of games as an artistic medium. The work of these gamemakers, Sharp suggests, shows that it is possible to create game-based artworks that satisfy the aesthetic and critical values of both the contemporary art and game communities. John Sharp is Associate Professor of Games and Learning at Parsons the New School for Design and a member of the game design collective Local No. 12. Learn more about your ad choices.

Game development has obviously evolved over the past 30 years with the advancement of tech and an abundance of innovative tools and platforms. Despite these clear changes - the core fundamentals of play as a human need/pastime have remained largely constant. As a highly successful and respected leader in game development, Brenda Romero offers a unique perspective on how game development has evolved, but also how many core pillars have stayed the same. How do you see game design evolving going forward? Will the way people interact with their games drastically change, and do you always see games existing in the same way we play now?

We had the pleasure of chatting with designer Elizabeth Hargrave for Ludology 203 - Winging It. 1h12m15s: The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire was a horrifying tragedy in which 146 sweatshop workers in New York City were killed by a fire. The workers were locked into their working space, so they could not exit on foot; many leapt to their deaths. The fire resulted in legislation that improved factory safety standards and strengthened union powers.  1h14m42s: Clio Yun-Su Davis' RPG Pass the Sugar Please was run by theater company Intramersive. 1h16m44s: Sharang is referencing Kat Jones' game Glitzy Nails. 1h17m43s: The RPG Flatpack 1h19m34s: The productivity games Habitica, SuperBetter, Chore Wars, and Zombies Run. 1h20m58s: Sharang's game A Shroud for the Seneschal.

In a #Throwback Edition of Ascend Sounds, listen in to Brenda Romero's insights on The Lost History of Women in Computing. The history of women in computing has largely been lost, like the histories of factory workers who built the first cars. Yet, women invented programming, were the original developers for the ENIAC, created assembly language and developed the first compiler (not to mention the term “compiler” and “bug”), and were instrumental to the development of many seminal programming languages. So, what happened? It's a drama that's equal parts of cultural excavation and celebration. In this talk, Brenda Romero digs up this fascinating history, explores what happened, and looks at how the artefacts of this legacy still affect computing and its growth today.

Die erste LGS-Live-Show war, wie man es seit jeher von LGS gewohnt ist: Ein perfekt durchchoreografiertes Medienereignis. Hier und da wackelte die Technik, hier und da klang Schiffer wie aus dem Klo, hier und da wurde eine Abstimmung versehentlich wieder geöffnet oder vergessen den Stream zu starten, aber abgesehen von solchen Kinkerlitzchen lief das Ganze so rund, wie ein gut geschmiertes Dreieck. Und das, obwohl Christian Alt zwischen mehrmals scheiterte: An Krabben, an M.U.L.E und am Buchstaben „D“.

Brenda Romero gegen Aya Kyogoku so lautet das nächste Duell in dieser Staffel von Last Game Standing, in der wir die „Beste Gamedesignerin“ suchen. Und was soll man sagen: Christian Alt hat sich selten in seinem Leben so sehr für etwas zerrissen. Ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste wirft er sich in dieser Folge für Aya Kyogoku in die Schlacht. Der Argumentationsberserker räumt alles und jeden bei Seite und das nur, um der zierlichen Japanerin zu ihrem Sieg zu verhelfen. Was Christian Schiffer dem entgegenzusetzten hat? Das hört ihr am Besten selbst, lol! Wir immer stimmt ihr bei uns im Forum ab, wer weiterkommt! https://forum.lastgamestanding.de/

On International Women's Day, we joined the 15th annual #IWD Accenture Ireland breakfast at the Convention Centre in Dublin. In front of a crowd of 1,700 (gulp!) in the main auditorium, Kathy hosted a panel on technology, Changing the Game in Tomorrow’s World, examining the future for inclusion and equality, and how the technologies we live and work with can set us up for success in tomorrow’s world. Joining her on stage were Brenda Romero, Bafta award-winning game designer; Zahra Bahrololoumi, Accenture’s UKI technology lead; and Gavin Kelly, chief executive, Retail Ireland, Bank of Ireland. The panel spoke about inclusivity, the historical absence of the female lens in design, machine learning, the importance of ensuring there’s a lack of bias in data, and lots more. Plus: Brenda Romero gave an entertaining and inspiring speech on the importance of getting more women into the tech industry at all levels. Thanks to Accenture Ireland for a great event.

La semana pasada fueron los The Game Awards, unos premios en los que todas las papeletas apuntaban a Red Dead Redemption II como mejor juego del año pero que, al final, Cory Barlog y su equipo se alzaron con el galardón más importante de la noche con God of War. De eso y de todos los demás premiados hablamos en este Podcast Pirata episodio 11. Del desastre de gala, también. Por otro lado, hemos estado en Fun & Serious Game Festival, uno de los festivales de videojuegos más importantes de Europa y que se celebra cada año en Bilbao. Aunque hemos escrito una crónica larga y detallada del evento, también teníamos que hablar de ella en el podcast porque, al contrario que los Game Awards, este si nos gustó. Bien organizado y con ponentes importantísimos como Brenda Romero, Jade Raymond, Rihanna Pratchett o Fumito Ueda, entre otros. En este podcast participan Kenneth Barranco, Joaquín Nieto y presenta Álex Pazos.

This week, James Batchelor is joined by the games industry's power couple: John and Brenda Romero.
