Catalyst Conversations: Game Matters

Join the MIT List Visual Arts Center in partnership with Catalyst Conversations for Game Matters, Jeremy Couillard and Mikael Jakobsson in Conversation.

How do we respond to technology?
Why do games matter?
Play and games are interactive, why do we need to play?
How do we learn by play?
How do games help us see our own social arrangements?
How do we create those important social spaces?

Artist Jeremy Couillard whose projects exist as playable games, web projects, and video installations will be in conversation with research scientist Mikael Jakobsson. Their conversation will explore some of these large questions from both a critical and design point of view. Join us for what promises to be an exciting and timely conversation.
