Game Arts International Assembly (GAIA)

[Español abajo]

The Game Arts International Assembly is a stretched symposium for game art curators and game community organizers.

9 sessions spread over two months. Free to one and all. And starting next week!

As part of a program that has 35 people from 21 countries, we can find the presentation of our colleague Luca Carrubba on Saturday April 10 from 10 am to 12 pm EDT

Play Safe: Game Arts During a Plague

Luca Carrubba (Spain/Italy) is in the process of curating an exhibition during the pandemic. How do you showcase interactive work that’s meant to be touched in a time when this can spread contagion? Game organizers and creators Chad Toprak and Helen Kwok (Australia) will be sharing their learnings after having designed multiple socially distanced games. Then we will be inviting all attendees to share their biggest challenges, related or unrelated to COVID. Hosted by Heather Kelley (USA).

This year GAIA is being produced by Luján Oulton (Game on! El arte en juego) and Marie Claire LeBlanc Flanagan and Jim Munroe (Game Arts International Network). Thanks to our session partners the Canadian Embassy, the Italian Cultural Institute, the Goethe Institut, and our symposium partner the Ontario Arts Council.
