There have been a few occasions where I had planned to move to Atlanta…and HERE‘s another big, fat middle finger to me from the city with the nicest airport. The Art History of Games is “a three-day public symposium in which members of the fields of game studies, art history and related areas of cultural studies gather to investigate games as an art form.” Which would be really interesting for anyone living in Atlanta (who are not me).
They have commissioned art by Jason Rohrer (“Passage”/”Between”), Tale of Tales (“The Path”), and Nathalie Pozzi and Eric Zimmerman for the event. So it’ll be probably the most interesting thing in the world if you are like me and enjoy video games and museums. Since I can’t go, I might as well spread the word.
Also, this may be worth noting: Tale of Tales has created an iPhone app as their commissioned piece, which should be released in time for the event.
