Podcast appearances and mentions of Kellee Santiago

Stāsta mūziķis, pedagogs un datu zinātnieks Linards Kalniņš Vai zini, ka visskaļāko strīdu par datorspēlēm kā mākslas formu izprovocēja amerikāņu filmu kritiķis Rodžers Īberts? Viņš savas dzīves laikā bija izspēlējis tikai vienu datorspēli... 21. gadsimta sākumā digitālo spēļu nozīme kultūrā bija kļuvusi tik liela, ka publiskās diskusijās Amerikas populārākajam un ietekmīgākajam filmu kritiķim Rodžeram Ībertam arvien biežāk jautāja viedokli par datorspēlēm kā mākslas formu, uz ko Īberts parasti atbildēja noraidoši. Spēļu apskatniekiem bija īpaši sāpīgi redzēt, kā viņu autoritāte nesaprot viņu tik mīļo aizraušanos – digitālās spēles, jo kinokritiķa karjeras sākumā arī Īberts pats bija smagi cīnījies par to, lai kino tiktu līdzvērtīgi pieņemts augsto mākslu pulciņā. 2010. gada 16. aprīlī, cerot pielikt punktu šai diskusijai, Īberts savā mājaslapā publicē rakstu ar radikālu nosaukumu "Videospēles nekad nebūs māksla". Par atspēriena punktu rakstam tiek izmantota videospēļu dizaineres un producentes Kellijas Santjāgo (Kellee Santiago) runa TED konferencē, kurā viņa argumentēti apgalvo, ka starp datorspēlēm jau labu laiku atrodami mākslas darbi. Savas runas sākumā viņa salīdzina agrīnās datorspēles ar alu zīmējumiem, un izceļ vairākas no tām kā mākslas darbu piemērus: "Braid" – spēli, kas asprātīgā un filozofiskā veidā spēlētājam liek izprast dažādas paradoksālas laika plūduma īpatnības, "Flower" – relaksējošu spēli, kurā spēlētājs vada vēju pļavā, lai tas panīkušus laukus padara par puķu pilnām pļavām, un "Waco Resurrection" – spēli un dokumentālo filmu par 30 gadu veciem notikumiem, kad FIB aģenti centās arestēt kāda kulta līderi – kriminālnoziedznieku, kura sekotāji izraisīja konfliktu ar daudziem desmitiem upuru, un šī spēle ļāva spēlētājam izspēlēt morāli ļoti pretrunīgas situācijas. Īberts nevienu no pieminētajām spēlēm nebija spēlējis, bet rakstīja, ka spēles pēc definīcijas nevar būt māksla, jo kontrole pār notikumu gaitu tiek nodota spēlētāja rokās, tādā veidā pazaudējot spēles autora kā mākslinieka vēstījumu. Svarīgi pieminēt, ka Īberts arī lielāko daļu filmu neuzskatīja par mākslas dabiem. Vairāki citi filmu kritiķi Ībertam piedāvāja aizdot savas spēļu konsoles, lai viņš izmēģina dažas izcilas spēles, bet kompānija "Sony" piedāvāja pa pastu nosūtīt Ībertam jaunāko Playstation 3 konsoli, no kā Īberts atteicās, sakot, ka viņš kā Kannu kinofestivāla žūrijas loceklis vērtē arī "Sony" filmas un nevēlas nostādīt sevi neētiskā situācijā, pieņemot šīs kompānijas dāvanas. Īberta publikācija izraisīja plašu rezonansi datorspēļu kopienā. Rakstu apsprieda, kritizēja un citēja visa videospēļu, filmu un kultūras prese. Redzot šo milzu reakcju, videospēļu un kultūras apskatnieks Ovens Guds uzdeva ļoti svarīgu jautājumu: kāpēc mums – un ar "mums" viņš domā cilvēkus, kas izvēlējušies par savu karjeru datorspēļu izstrādi, žurnālistiku vai arī spēļu spēlēšanu kā vaļasprieku, – ir tik svarīgi, ko par šo nozari domā Rodžers Īberts? Ovens Guds spēļu kopienu jeb industriju salīdzināja ar nesen pilngadību sasniegušu cilvēku. Jo cilvēks autonomiju iegūst nevis tad, kad viņš ir pārliecinājis savus vecākus, ka ir pieaudzis, bet gan tad, kad viņam pašam šī pārliecināšana vairs nav vajadzīga un viņš vienkārši dzīvo savu pieaugušā cilvēka dzīvi.  Šis salīdzinājums šķiet ļoti trāpīgs. Lielākā daļa spēļu žurnālistu, vismaz Amerikā, bija uzauguši un savu gaumi veidojuši, bērnībā lasot Īberta filmu kritikas un skatoties karstās diskusijas televīzijas raidījumā "Īberts un Sikels".  Galvenā atklāsme, ko tālajā 2010. gadā spēļu žurnālisti saprata – diemžēl vai par laimi, viņiem pašiem jākļūst par digitālo spēļu Ībertiem, jo Rodžers ir pārāk aizņemts, lasot grāmatas un skatoties filmas, ko viņš arī darīja līdz pat savai nāves dienai – pēdējā Rodžera Īberta filmu kritika par romantisko drāmu "To the Wonder" tika publicēta divas dienas pēc Īberta nāves 2013. gada 6. aprīlī.

Join host Brenda Darden Wilkerson for a “Game On” conversation with Kellee Santiago, a video game creative director, consultant and a builder of worlds. Kellee knows first-hand that games are more than entertainment – they are powerful engines for empathy. And in this episode, Kellee takes us through her remarkable journey from making indie games, at a time when women made up only 4-5% of the gaming workforce, to her successful work with industry giants like Google and Niantic. Together, Brenda and Kellee explore why games are such an important cornerstone of our culture and even our global conversation. This wide ranging discussion looks at the industry's evolution, ongoing challenges, and Kellee's approach to fostering inclusive and innovative game development. Plus, tune in for some myth-busting facts about gaming history, including the stories of some women who were actually at the forefront of building original games. So press play and learn the transformative power of gaming and how you can be part of creating empathetic, engaging worlds that resonate with diverse audiences. “The immersion into a different world and a different perspective, is just such a cool capacity of games that I would love to continue to see more of, and more people engaging with.” For more of Kellee Santiago check out...

Randall suggests that the main reason video game aesthetics are so compelling is because of the close coupling of cause and effect which hardly exists in real life.

Topics discussed: Pong Tank battle Dungeons & Dragons The Last Starfighter (1984) Ready Player One (2018) Puzzles Tetris Candy Crush Puzzle games Asteroids Space Invaders Pac-Man Social mobility Socioeconomic status Japanese simulation games Densha de Go!

Kellee Santiago said that when making Journey they wanted to “make a game that creates a renewed sense of faith in humanity”. They wanted to make a game that was inclusive and was appealing to people who perhaps didn’t normally play video games. We talked to Kellee at From Business To Buttons in Stockholm about...

Thatgamecompany had a deal with Sony in the late 2000s. The Studio, founded by Jenova Chen and Kellee Santiago, would make three games for the PlayStation 3's fledgling PSN service. The deal began with a remake of Chen's Flash title Flow which was then followed by Flower. The final part of Thatgamecompany's Sony trilogy was known as Journey and stands as perhaps the most well known art-house game on the planet. The title garnered a staggering number of awards for its visuals, unique, emotional gameplay, and player interaction, even earning the coveted game of the year spot from numerous publications. Austin Wintory's soundtrack catapulted the game into the mainstream consciousness as the only video game soundtrack ever to be nominated for a Grammy.  Though it released five years ago and the game industry has covered a lot of ground since 2012, we now look back and ask: Is Journey one of the best games period?
