GAMES && is a symposium featuring artists, designers and researchers who explore and experiment with the tools and techniques of game design and development.
Games are a medium rich with potential for experimentation, exploration and creative expression. Each of the speakers at GAMES && will highlight varied and innovative practices with games, connecting the processes of game design and the technologies of game development to a compelling range of artistic practices, research methods and approaches to engineering and design.
Organized by Lecturer in Visual Arts Tim Szetela.
Cosponsored by Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts and the Council on Science and Technology.
The GAMES && symposium is supported through the John Sacret Young ’69 Lecture Series fund.
