12/5 Play, Games, New Media
Friday 12/5 10:30 to 12:30 in Cobb 310
Ph.D. candidates Matt Hauske (Cinema & Media Studies), Peter Shultz (Music), and James Hodge (English) lead a mini-panel discussion on theories of play, including Caillois, Aarseth, Galloway, and focusing on Giorgio Agamben’s essay, “In Playland: Reflections on History and Play.” The discussion will focus on the relation of history and play.
In addition, we will play Wii and take a tour of the history of tennis in media art, and take a peek at the work of Cory Archangel. Join us for a fun end-of-the-quarter session!
