[Pervasive Media discuss] Iglab

[Clare Reddington]

Media Sandbox participant Simon Johnson has set up iglab, which we thought
members of the list might be interested in:


What is iglab?

Inspired by the games at come out and play http://www.comeoutandplay.org/
and the London games fringe festival http://www.londongamesfringe.com/ iglab
is a monthly meeting for people interested in games, especially games that
have the ability to sometimes transcend their limits.

The Interesting Games Lab offers the opportunity to play some interesting
games, meet some interesting people and look at some interesting ideas.
Sound interesting?

iglab is new very new The first meeting will be on the Tue 12th of  Feb,
7pm,  at the Pervasive Media Studio, Leadworks, (above Firehouse
Rotisserie), Anchor Square, Harbourside Bristol, BS1 5DB.

iglab is both a resource for those who would like to develop contemporary
games, and an opportunity for us all to gain an insight into contemporary
games culture. iglab is open and of potential interest to games developers,
artists, social scientists, performers, gamers, to people of all ages and
backgrounds. Anyone can submit a game to the lab (see site for details)

At the first event there will be: a game from Korea that involves lasers; a
game that challenges you to be smarter than an ant; and some playtesting of
a social swarm application currently in r+d and not forgetting *FREE* beer
