Presented at
Notacon 8 (2011),
April 16, 2011, noon
(240 minutes)
Like any medium that has achieved a critical popular mass, strange and
intoxicating activity in video games is happening at the margins,
between the cracks and out in the shed. These are the games that make
us question "is this really a game?" and "who would do this?" and
"why?"… From zero-button games like Cory Arcangel's "Super Mario
Clouds" to existentialist platformers like Cactus'
"Psychosomnium," we'll share, discuss, play and ultimately throw down
tournament style to establish artgamer supremacy in the first ever
Artgames LAN Party, a titanic clash of sensitivities & aesthetics sure
to shake loose the stars from our crude, pixelated skybox.
