Call for the presentation of proposals to be carried out within the
collaborative production workshop that will take place in Medialab-Prado
(Madrid, Spain) on January (21 to 24) and February (4 to 7), 2010.
PlayLab aims to explore the context of games and video games as a space
for creativity, experimentation, learning and reflection. It also aims
to create an environment that leads to collaborative work in which
different disciplines come together.
PlayLab's activities are proposed as an open and participatory research
process from which one can approach video games, a phenomenon that is
becoming more extensive and influent in Contemporary Society, and
explore its critical potential, its learning possibilities and its
capacity to create social spaces that go beyond the purely commercial
and standardized. PlayLab is also interested in the history of games and
video games as it examines its possible genealogies and studies its
social, cognitive and psychological effects characteristic of video
games today.
Check the call guidelines and submit your project before *November 25,
2009*.* *No entry fees.*
