[ISEA2008] Panel: Maja Kuzmanovic (Chair) — Luminous Green in Singapore: Electronic arts in turbulent weather

Panel Statement

invited panel

An open discussion in which we will examine the five themes of ISEA2008 under the lens of environmental and social turbulence. If we look at the problems of distribution of goods, people and information — can we learn from the robustness of distributed collaboration, so well represented in ‘wild’ culture and locative media? Gaming culture has a plethora of tools and techniques to engage players in demanding pursuits; some of these techniques can be further developed, to raise awareness and knowledge and action — in a playful, imaginative manner. Climate Chaos is a global problem, which does not recognise national or economic borders. However, our ‘global society’ is still riddled with border disputes, exclusions and conflicts; perhaps some of the ‘open re:source’ models from software and electronic arts could offer interesting solutions for more inclusive trans-local societies. During the discussion these topics will be examined from multiple points ­of view in order to examine the role we play in the feisty planetary eco-systems. fo.am/events/luminous_green_panel_at_isea
