Beschreibung

PLAY THINGS

The creation of LUDIC OBJECTS, "playthings" as artistic artefacts are at the heart of EXPERIMENTAL GAME CULTURES and thus core to the central artistic subject of the program. 

Starting from Josia Reichardts Play Orbit we connect to the Uncanny Valley of robotic toys and AI companions. Phygital toys (combining the physical with the digital) can prompt creative play patterns among players.

The artefacts created over the course of the ZKF will be shown in a final exhibition.
