Private view + chat room for gamers and more: a panel talk

About

Join the artists of the four-day programme, 'Swords and Kisses' to discuss weaving narratives and presenting games/gaming culture in the gallery space and how it poses issues of form.

Kash & Germ will present a work-in-progress video game that is continuously being updated by the artists, as a personal journal for thoughts, feelings and reflections; especially in terms of our relationship with nature. The narrator - a washing line blowing in the breeze - holds onto these thoughts, which are accessible through presenting the living object with detritus found on the grass. The player can combine these found objects in various ways, pursuing dialogues at random. In this way a unique narrative develops, lazily, meandering back and forth, prompted by touch and curiosity.

Opening discussion on; non-linear narratives, technology re-experienced in games, open-source game-making and techy stuff!
