[Nettime-nl] Zomercursus Playstation meets Organism |
From: Justine Smithuis <Justine.Smithuis@Felix.Meritis.NL> Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 14:56:21 +0200 Summer seminar Playstation meets Organism: Emulation in a Cultural Context 1-3 September 2000, Amsterdam The Amsterdam-Maastricht Summer University in association with Mediamatic Foundation (Amsterdam) The notion of emulation has recently gained new actuality, for example in game design, artificial life, sociology, biology and culture. In this seminar the meaning of emulation in these different discourses will be discussed, while exploring emulators and practical uses of emulation. The first day will focus on popular discourses in biology and artificial life, the second on emulation in the context of art, specifically new media art, and for the third day computer games and game design will be the central issue. Among the lecturers are biologists, art critics and theorists of new media such as George Dyson, Lev Manovich, Hiroshi Masuyama, Tom McCarthy, Trevor Pinch and Tom Ray. Apart from the intellectual debate, participants will be able to revitalize themselves in real floating tanks and to experiment with computer games. Furthermore, the participants will have free access to the cultural and social evening programme in the building of Felix Meritis and in Club BABY. This seminar is intended for free-floating academics and joy-stick intellectuals.
