Mind and Body: Engaging Humans with Play

Heather Kelley - Designer at Perfect Plum and Assistant Teaching Professor, Entertainment Technology Centre, Carnegie Mellon University, USA 

 

New directions in digital, physical, social and blended reality games highlight the ability of play to continually engage the human senses. Games have an outstanding capacity to direct human attention toward particular dynamics (social, psychological, power, etc), and to enable artistic expression and aesthetic experience. This talk will examine some of the best current examples in “art games” featuring experimental works that allow us to sketch the outlines of our playful future.
