Title | researcher & game designer |
Research interests relevant to game philosophy | My primary research interest is the aestheics of video games and digital aestheics in general. I view games as a medium defined by the intersection of interativity and digitality and investigate the artistic language emerging from this specific set of conditions. I am also interested in non-conventional games and game practices, such as notgames, zero-player games, masocore, goldfarming, in-game cyberformances, etc. |
