DESCRIPTION:Barbara Lippe\nWomen’s culture has existed for centuries in Japan. Today\, it extensively shapes Japan’s popular culture – even its game industry. Gender-blending\, androgyny and the challenging of gender roles lie at the core of specific game genres produced by and for females in Japan. Whereas in the West most professional attempts to address a larger number of female gamers and to engage a greater female workforce in the game industry have failed\, Avaloop – an independent game development studio in Austria – is about to change this profoundly. By taking the global de-disneyfication into account and employing female creative leads\, its game Papermint has not only already gained a large fanbase of non-traditional gamers but even manages to blend games with the notion of bourgeois “high culture”. Papermint’s success is based on its practical realisation of Barbara’s research on Japanese gaming and girl culture\, as well as the game’s wholly original artistic concept created by a diverse team. \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Barbara Lippe is the lead artist at the Vienna-based game development studio Avaloop Ltd\, currently working on Austria's first virtual world. Barbara previously worked as a character artist at the Tokyo-based design company FuriFuri Co. Her unique characters were published in the character design encyclopedia Pictoplasma by Die Gestalten Verlag. Her art has been exhibited in London\, Damascus\, Budapest\, Seoul\, Singapore and San Francisco. She was a juror for the Golden Nica Award of the Ars Electronica Festival in 2002 and a columnist for CONSOL.AT\, the leading Austrian video game magazine. Recently\, she has been elected into the organising committee of the Nordic Game\, the largest game developers' conference in Scandinavia. Barbara holds a Master’s degree in multimedia art and a PhD in cultural studies with a doctoral dissertation on girls\, video games and Japan titled "Game Boys for Play Girls!". She hosts discussions and workshops in Austria\, Sweden\, Denmark\, the Netherlands and the UK. Her academic and job-related interests include virtual characters\, fan cultures\, user-generated content\, global youth scenes\, leisure behaviour and gender\, as well as game scenes and markets in Asia.

To test this hypothesis\, IBM’s Visual Communication Lab recently launched Many Eyes\, a website devoted to a new social style of data analysis and visualization. Fernanda Viegas and Martin Wattenberg will discuss the design goals behind the site and provide a preliminary report on the usage patterns we have seen. Viegas is a research scientist in IBM's Visual Communication Lab where her work focuses on social and collaborative aspects of data visualization. Previous projects explored e-mail archives\, newsgroup conversations\, chat-room interactions\, and the editing history of wiki pages. Her visualization-based artwork has been exhibited in galleries in New York\, Los Angeles\, and Boston. Wattenberg\, also a research scientist in IBM's Visual Communication Lab\, focuses on information visualization and its application to collaborative computing\, journalism\, and art. Wattenberg’s visualization artwork has been exhibited in venues ranging from Ars Electronica to the Whitney Museum of American Art.

In this Forum\, two MIT scholars who have studied and written about the remixing of Shakespeare will describe their research\, show some salient audio-visual examples and discuss the implications of their work for contemporary culture. Literature Professor Peter Donaldson is director of the Shakespeare Electronic Archive which since 1992 has used computers to develop new ways of studying the text\, image and film records of Shakespearean publication and production. Literature Professor Diana Henderson is the author of Collaborations with the Past: Reshaping Shakespeare Across Time and Media and A Concise Companion to Shakespeare on Screen. She is an active participant in MIT’s partnership with the Royal Shakespeare Company. The forum will be moderated by Mary Fuller of the Literature Faculty.

As if to reflect this new trend\, poets such as Robert Lowell and John Berryman started to write\, almost on the same pulse\, quasi-sonnet sequences. \nIn the late sixties\, a more experimental type of pulse music was invented by such composers as Terry Riley and Steve Reich to be later labeled as minimalism. Again\, the poetry caught up due to the efforts of John Ashbery and A. R. Ammons who wrote deliberately monotonous and distinctly open-ended sequences. \nSome excerpts of poems will be read\, some parts of music heard.

During this two-hour class with Ksenia Prassolova\, we will concentrate on further exploring this metaphor; by looking at the key translation techniques we will try to understand how to better tell our stories across media.

Using concepts from my book on video games\, Half-Real: Video Games between Real Rules and Fictional Worlds\, I will argue that video game players are neither rational solvers of abstract problems\, nor daydreamers in fictional worlds\, but both of these things with shifting emphasis. The unique quality of video games is to be located in their intricate interplay of rules and fictions\, which I will examine across genres\, from casual games to massively multiplayer games. \nJesper Juul is a video game theorist and assistant professor in video game theory and design at the Centre for Computer Game Research Copenhagen where he also earned his Ph.D. His book Half-Real on video game theory was published by MIT Press in 2005. Additionally\, he works as a multi-user chat systems and casual game developer. He is currently a visiting scholar at Parsons School of Design in New York. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Comparative Media Studies Program and the Project New Media Literacies.

DESCRIPTION:On October 31 — Halloween! — CMS will be sponsoring a free public game (and costume contest) near Harvard Square called “Cruel 2 B Kind” (cruelgame.com)\, from 6:30-8:30 PM. \nIt’s a little bit like the game “Assassins”; the twist is that you “kill” other players by using your assigned weapon\, which involves saying or doing something nice to your victim… Since you don’t know who your victim *is*\, however\, you have to go around trying the “weapon” on everyone you encounter\, whether they’re playing the game or not. For more information\, visit www.cruelgame.com. \nAll you need to participate is a partner\, a cell phone that can send and receive text messages\, and a couple hours next Tuesday to meet people and have a good time! \nFor more information\, and to register for the game\, go to:\nhttp://www.cruelgame.com/signup.
