Though the music thumps from just beyond the trailer, the need for sleep reigns supreme. Here’s to the Festival Producers, reminding one another that you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others. Still, stretching themselves to the brink of exhaustion, sleeping with one lucid ear listening to the chitter chatter on walkie talkie squackboxes. Here’s to the Festival Producers, stewards of land and guardians of initation. In celebration and ceremony, they stand at attention around spires of flame, at box office gates, at information booths, reverential with obligation. Here’s to the Festival Producers, engaged but not engulfed in emotional readiness, never completely consumed by the swirling energies, always grounding, grounding, grounding and searching for consensus. Here’s to the Festival Producers, the first on-site and the last to go to bed on Sunday night, when the magnitude of success and failure come rumbling through backstage. For those few sets that you catch, for those few dance moves which burst from your tired limbs with singularity and expression. For those moments where time stands stills and the glowing crowd, unaware of so much sacrifice, gives off the deepest expressions of gratitude to no one and everyone at once. Here’s to the Festival Producers, golf carts stuck in mud! Here’s to the Festival Producers, plumbers and electricians none! But you are today! You have leveled up so long as you have not become submerged in slosh or shocked! Here’s to the Festival Producers, for today you have been a Parking Attendant, Healer, Cook, Negotiator, Security Guard, Sound Tech, Janitor, Volunteer Coordinator, Vendor, Artist, Flow Master, Jedi and Trembling Scared Up To Your Neck Tears Streaming From Every Pore While You Make The Hardest Call Of Your Life That Only You Can Make. All before 11:00 AM and you didn’t even have time for coffee. Here’s to the Festival Producers, champions of sleep deprivation, self-flagellating with responsibility and somehow sustaining a sacred vessel capable of modeling a new future of community and creativity. Here’s to the Festival Producers, who, when the morning light comes streaming in, get up and do it again.

Qualitative analysis: comparative method, within-case method of analysis and embedded multiple-case study Master Thesis Handed in to Department of Communication and Psychology Aalborg University Head of Department Univ.-Prof. Dr. Mikael Vetner and the Media Arts Cultures Consortium Supervisor: Palle Dahlstedt (Ph.D., MFA, MA) By: Dominique Vinckenbosch (BA, MA) August 12, 2019 ! ii! ABSTRACT Topic: Game design elements (gamification affordances) applied to interaction for co-creation in art. Author: Dominique Vinckenbosch Course/Year: Media Arts Cultures, 2017-2019 4th Semester Placement: Aalborg University, Denmark Pages: 130 Content: So far gamification and interaction in art have been studied separately. However, the research question of this study "How does Gamified Interaction allow participants to co-create digital artworks?" covers three disciplines, respectively games, human computer interaction and interactive art and demonstrate connections premises between the three. Therefore, this study aims to bridge these three disciplines by filling the gap in the current research about the application of game design elements (gamification affordances) to interaction for co-creation in art. In order to do so, the study conducts an in-depth cross-case and within-case qualitative analysis of four digital artworks, respectively The Beast, Cow Clicker, Tweetris and BURP in regards to two previously elaborated hypotheses, which goals are to provide evidence of a causal relationship (H1) and to eliminate a causal factor as a necessary condition (H2). The results demonstrate that Gamified Interaction enables co-creation in the form of authorial and social collaboration, and that it does not necessary have to be designed according to the participants.

  • Theorising the Practice of Expressing a Fictional World Across Distinct Media and Environments
    Transmedia Practice: Theorising the Practice of Expressing a Fictional World across Distinct Media and Environments by Christy Dena A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) School of Letters, Art and Media Department of Media and Communications Digital Cultures Program University of Sydney Australia Supervisor: Professor Gerard Goggin Associate Supervisor: Dr. Chris Chesher Associate Supervisor: Dr. Anne Dunn 2009 Let’s study, with objectivity and curiosity, the mutation phenomenon of forms and values in the current world. Let’s be conscious of the fact that although tomorrow’s world does not have any chance to become more fair than any other, it owns a chance that is linked to the destiny of the current art [...] that of embodying, in their works some forms of new beauty, which will be able to arise only from the meet of all the techniques. (Francastel 1956, 274) Translation by Regina Célia Pinto, emailed to the empyre mailing list, Jan 2, 2004. Reprinted with permission. To the memory of my dear, dear, mum, Hilary. Thank you, for never denying yourself the right to Be. ~ Transmedia Practice ~ Abstract In the past few years there have been a number of theories emerge in media, film, television, narrative and game studies that detail the rise of what has been variously described as transmedia, cross-media and distributed phenomena. Fundamentally, the phenomenon involves the employment of multiple media platforms for expressing a fictional world. To date, theorists have focused on this phenomenon in mass entertainment, independent arts or gaming; and so, consequently the global, transartistic and transhistorical nature of the phenomenon has remained somewhat unrecognised.
