>>
>>"Game-Related Artwork or Installation (NEW!): Beginning this year, the
>>GLS conference will host a curated art exhibit in our on-site
>>dedicated gallery. We welcome your creative works that in any way
>>resemble, incorporate, or are inspired by game characters, themes or
>>motifs, or are entirely newly-imagined game-like forms. Original
>>playable games, creative works that blur the line between art objects
>>and games, interactive art installation (as it relates to game play
>>and game design), art objects that explore the form of games or forms
>>from games as well as their conceptual, intellectual, social, and
>>psychological implications of games, and art that challenges the very
>>idea of static art objects in the age of instant and ubiquitous
>>interactivity are welcome. Works can be two-dimensional,
>>three-dimensional, digital, or performed. Please submit a brief
>>description of your work and related images or digital materials for
>>consideration. Include in the description how the work would be
>>displayed and what technical considerations for display will be
>>required. Shipping arrangements will be made directly with the
>>artist."
>>
>>It's spring break, obviously, but if you know of any student work or
>>if you're interested in exhibiting your own work, I'm almost certain
>>that you'll have a good chance of getting something in. This is a new
>>direction for GLS, one that I personally am excited for, and one that
>>might mesh well with the digital design emphases of many folks in
>>AIMS.
>>
>>If you have any questions about the proposal process, I'd be happy to
>>talk to whomever is interested -- I've been involved with this crew
>>for the past 4 years, and it's a premiere venue for those interested
>>in games, "new media" and learning. It's a great community, and one
>>that I'd love to see AIMS collectively have a presence at!
>>
>>Best,
