If/then – or? The white cube phase of prototyping Experimental Game Cultures.
In the exhibition of the first hybrid game-culture assemblages from the new master’s program Experimental Game Cultures, we focus on the conscious change of established dynamics of the game, reflecting both the dark side and the intensity of the games — in ludic arrangements between human and non-human actors.

A Playbook of Knowledge Visualization
The Orbis sensualium pictus, written by Jan Amos Comenius and printed 1658 in Nürnberg, is a curious object. In this ludic lecture, we’re talking about a tiny, illustrated encyclopedia that shares a whole world vision in 150 short chapters each referring to a simple woodcut.

Artistic Core Subject
Game Design Club
As a part of the core artistic subject, we had our first editions of the Game Design Club. In these sessions, the students create playable prototypes after an introductory talk about game design methodology, a discussion of different design mindsets and analysis of existing games.
This is a hands-on collaboration, we playtest each others projects and iterate on our ideas.
2nd semester FINALS – Hybrid Ludic Assemblage
HYBRID LUDIC ASSEMBLAGES EX GAME – FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT THROUGH THE LABYRINTH!
Artistic play is the experimental testing and subjective experiencing of alternative possibilities. Play as a participative process can show us paths to positive change, and new forms of future society, politics and empathetic togetherness.
