DiGRA NY (pending)
At the G4C festival last week I realized how many people we have here in NYC that do one thing or another with games. So, just now I sent off a proposal to start up DiGRA NY.
At this point everything remains nebulous, but the site is live. People wasted no time when I asked them to join in. Here’s a list of confirmed names:
David Cole, DFC Intelligence
Dennis Crowley, New York University
Mary Flanagan, Hunter College/TiltFactor Lab
Lewis Kofsky, Curious Pictures
Liel Liebovitz, Columbia University/Thunder 11
Aram Sinnreich, New York University/Radar Research
Martin Zagorsek, Parsons School for Design/Games & Software at NPD
Eric Zimmerman, NYU/GameLab
As of right now, the first main event is tentatively scheduled in the fall of ’08 (topic TBA). Of course this all depends on whether or not Frans and Tanya approve of my proposal.
Technics are handled by the always-working brain behind Super Interactive. Patiently we await a green light from Finland.
(stay tuned)
