gameZ & ruleZ – game mechanics in design and culture
Eine spielbare Videogame Ausstellung und eine Konferenz von gameZfestival und GameLab mit internationalen Gästen und Schweizer Game Designern zum Thema Gamemechanik.
The growing importance of game design for virtual and real-world contexts raises the question of structure and design of rules for game, play, art, technology and urban culture. The event on „gamez & ruleZ" at "Kunstraum Walcheturm" in Zurich, Switzerland, intends to explore and discuss these relationships from october 2 - 4, 2015.
