Melbourne International Games Week 2023

Play can improve social and personal well-being, help communities form, and serve as a way into posthuman thinking through systems and processes. An important point of differentiation for adults is their ability to engage in critical play, which incorporates reflection, analysis, and observation of a play experience. Designers of serious play frequently rely on these speculative and imaginative aspects because they emphasize these qualities for problem-solving, critical thinking, or as a research methodology.

To explore these ideas we are running a series of events at Melbourne International Games Week in October – see our link.tree for more info!
