Mutants, post-industrial America, and games with computers in them.
Kevin Slavin, urban consultant and co-founder of New York computer games studio Area/Code presents a powerful argument for games as social systems with people at the centre; for the “software” of cities as what runs on the “hardware” of buildings and streets; for an “urban sport” that can educate behaviour by leaking from computers into the social world; and above all, for designers today to build the systems that will propagate and feed us, not the things we will consume.
Speaker: Kevin Slavin, Managing Director and co-Founder of area/code, award-winning cross-media games and entertainment studio.
