In the event that you were one of the people who tried to buy Art Deck while the site was broken - now fixed! If you want to collaboratively art with your friends: artdeckgame.com/wp/
Here's a little booklet about public play, which @UltraCobalt wrote as part of her @PlayableCity residency in Tokyo! "Nine Questions About Play in Particular Places": britishcouncil.jp/sites/default/…
A bit of info about the booklet of awkward games we made for @SciGalleryDub's "Intimacy" exhibition - mathesonmarcault.com/index.php/2018… - if you're in Dublin, do have a look!
Sophie's back off to Japan for the second part of her @PlayableCity residency - she's written here mathesonmarcault.com/index.php/2018… about what she's up to there.
This summer we made a game for an amazing ruined castle, as part of Goodrich Castle's on-site interpretation - more info here: mathesonmarcault.com/index.php/2018…
They also have Agnes Varda with cat and a great zine library, and a bunch of interesting-looking talks and panels.
We’re at @BFI today running Art Deck as part of @CodeLiberation’s area of Woman with a Movie Camera summit. Come play if you’re in the correct geographical location!
some lovely folks and i are helping with some stretch goals for this cool game!
