Technoculture, Art and Games: MICROTALKS

The Technoculture, Art and Games cluster is hosting another session of MICROTALKS featuring new cluster members. Speakers will share their work in super fast pecha-kucha style presentations.

The speakers featured in this first session will talk about a wide variety of topics including, but not exclusive to: ethical game design, gender in games, procedural choreography, conversing with NPCs and narrative AIs.
