SUMMARY:Futures of Entertainment
DESCRIPTION:Futures of Entertainment \nAs advertisers look for new ways to engage audiences\, content creators search for new audiences\, and audiences quest for new ways to connect with culture\, the nature of what counts as “entertainment” is rapidly changing. We are seeing the blurring of aesthetic and technological distinctions between media platforms\, of “advertising” and “content” and of “creator” and “consumer.” Futures of Entertainment brings together key industry leaders who are shaping these new directions in our culture. The conference will consider developments such as user-generated content\, transmedia storytelling\, the rise of mobile media and the emergence of social networking. Speakers include: Chris Anderson (The Long Tail)\, Caterina Fake (Flickr)\, Michael Lebowitz (Big Spaceship)\, Paul Levitz (DC Comics)\, Diane Nelson (Warner Bros. Fan Relations)\, and Robert Tercek (Multimedia Networks). Co-sponsor: Convergence Culture Consortium. \nThis event is open to the public. Please register online.

SUMMARY:Half-Real: A Video Game in the Hands of a Player
DESCRIPTION:What happens when a player picks up video game\, learns to play it\, masters it\, and leaves it? 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.
