[game_edu] Critical Gameplay Gallery Exhibition and Reception: April 17th, 2009

[Grace, Lindsay D.]

In case anyone is in the Chicago area next weekend . . . 

Critical Gameplay is a collection of strategically designed video games. Each game asks the question, what do common game mechanics teach us? Each of the games in the collection are designed to help reevaluate our perspective on gameplay experiences. Critical gameplay seeks to offer alternate perspectives on the way we play.

The Exhibition:
Several video games will be displayed for visitors to play on multiple stations. Each games evaluates a specific gameplay standard and actively works against it. The hope is the initiation of an intellectual dialogue about the opportunities in unexplored gameplay mechanics.

The exhibition will also include other video games and interactive works created by Lindsay Grace.

The exhibition is open to the public and will be held for one night on April 17th, 2009 from 6:30 pm – 10:00 pm.
