NYC Salon: Ethics and Values in Games
Posted by Benjamin Stokes on 01-14-07
On January 9th an evening salon was held in NYC at Parsons the New School for Design in conjunction with G4C and the NYC Games Scholars. The program included:
Jesper Juul (Assistant Professor, Centre for Computer Game Research Copenhagen; Visiting Scholar, The New School) on The Problem with Games and Players and the Rest of the World: What happens when a player picks up a game? What is the boundary between what is in the game and what is outside the game? Does fiction or rules matter?
—and—
Helen Nissenbaum (Associate Professor in the Department of Culture and Communication and Faculty Associate of the Information Law Institute at NYU) on Values-at-Play: A Methodology for Bringing Values into the Design of Games
Demos were featured by Mark Grob—DWI Learning Experience/Game; Lance Vikaros, Teachers College—Global Warming Interactive (produced by Michael Hillinger); Michael Edwards, The New School—Inspector Carbone
NETWORK HOUR EXHIBITORS: Robert Steele and Kim Blozie—Earth Intelligence Network; Matt Slaybaugh—Go Rabbit, Go!
