The TREEgame. What Is It Like to Play a Tree? 
Reflections and Instructions for an Art Game with Non-Human Entities by Margarete Jahrmann & Thomas Brandstetter (eds.)

On Tuesday 24th November, 18:30 at FLUX2 at Vordere Zollamtsstrasse 7, Vienna we will present the book and talk with Margarete Jahrmann & Thomas Brandstetter (Experimental Game Cultures), Stefan Glasauer (Neurowissenschaftler) and Isabel Kranz (Kulturwissenschaftlerin) about the research project that inspired the game, the design process and the play experiences. Further authors and players will be present!

What is it like to play a tree? Find out by playing the TREEgame, an asymmetrical experimental board game for four players developed by Margarete Jahrmann and Thomas Brandstetter and now available in book form.

The book also contains essays about the game, its context, and the ludic method, an experimental approach invented by Margarete Jahrmann that uses the power of play to investigate contemporary social and political dynamics. Situated at the intersection of art, game design, and cultural analysis, the TREEgame is an invitation to playfully explore our relationship with the natural world.
