Dear all,
We won’t have an IMS seminar next week, but on Thursday we have another talk from our
Media Impact series titled “Virtually Alive: How Video Games Make Evolution Playable” with
Péter Makai, former post doc at IMS.
Description: Video and board games turn evolution into a playable experience. Which
strategies are used for making the science of evolution fun? And how does player
interaction change the dynamic of evolution? Become wiser on these questions together with
Péter Kristóf Makai, in our second talk in the Media Impact series.
Peter Makai recently finished his Crafoord Postdoctoral Fellowship at Linnaeus Unversity
Centre of Intermedial and Multimodal Studies. He is currently a KWI International Fellow
at the University of Duisburg-Essen's Cultural Studies Institute, studying how theme
parks are transmediated into digital and board games. He has published work on Tolkien,
games and worldbuilding in Reconstructing Arda, Tolkien Studies, and in Postmodern
Reinterpretations of Fairy Tales.
The talk is on June 17, 15.30-16.00 CEST (15 minutes talk, 15 minutes for Q/A).
