transformative play
Short yet interesting article on "transformative play," by Katie Salen, in association with an exhibit she curated at the Walker Art Center.
"Transformative play occurs when the free movement of play alters the more rigid rule structure in which it takes shape. "
This article specifically focuses on transformative play as a "powerful creative strategy within digital culture," focusing expressly on the way people use tools within the Quake and Sims games to construct their own narratives. Especially interesting is the discussion on "machinima," the use of the Quake demo recorder (or other game tools) as a means of cinematic production. Labels: game_commentary |
