WORKSHOP: game design in artistic research
The Narratives of Mortality Workshop constitutes a methodological experiment exploring the use of team-based urban game design, as a tool in artistic research in the field of urban art and design. With these means, the workshop will contribute to a specific artistic research project that explores the transformation of urban cemeteries as urban space. In the workshop, game design will be employed as an instrument to test and prototype urban interventions in the cemetery of Aalborg. Although the interventions may be games themselves, the primary focus is to use games to create knowledge and insights about potential interactions in and with the cemetery that are relevant for the artistic research processes, the people using the space and potential new visitors.
There is a maximum of 16 participants for the workshop. Interested students, artists, gamers and practioners must send a motivated letter for participation to workshop organisor Jakob Borrits Sabra no later than 16th of April 2014 to jbsa@ create.aau.dk. Answers will be sent out 18th of April 2014.
