Скачать или смотреть What is alt.ctrl? An Exploration of Non-traditional Games | MAGFest 2025

alt.ctrl (alt control) refers both to non-traditional controllers and the games they allow us to play. A burgeoning scene in experimental game development, alt.ctrl blurs the line between video games and art installations, encouraging players to take a new perspective on what it means to make a game, and pushing the boundaries of interactivity and play. Join award-winning alt.ctrl developers and educators from around the world for a panel discussion moderated by Emily Koonce.

Panelists: Robin Baumgarten [Interactive Installation Artist, http://wobblylabs.com, @robinwobbles.bsky.social], Erin J.K. Truesdell, Ph.D. [Assistant Professor of Informatics, NJIT, http://erinjktruesdell.com], Miki Strauss [Freelance Illustrator & Programmer, http://windupthing.com, @windupthing on instagram, bluesky], Emily Koonce [Event Producer at Night City, Adjunct Professor at DePaul University, Game Designer, https://linktr.ee/campemily, http://koonce.itch.io, bluesky: @campemily.bsky.social, Instagram: @kooooonce]
