J.E.U.X. 3 – 5 November

Posted by Bart

3 – 5 November

6pm – 10pm
Roundtable discussions: every night at 6:30pm
Free

There is a fine list of TAGsters participating in the roundtables for this event starting tonight – Bérengère Marin-Dubuard, Stephen Ascher, Salvador Garcia-Martinez and Bart Simon plus TAG MGI incubator alumnus Richard Flanagan and of course our esteemed visitor Doug Wilson.  Actually the whole line up of folks and installations looks very interesting…

J.E.U.X. is a transdisciplinary exploration of the relations between spectator/player and creator. Are these relationships egalitarian or does there exist an implicit or explicit hierarchy, which needs to be reconfigured? J.E.U.X. is an ideal platform for the development of art forms, which present “gaming systems” that are governed by different rules and explore these mechanics and dynamics. Under the impetus of Eastern Bloc and Studio 303, the works presented within J.E.U.X. demonstrate creativity, encourage participation, awaken the senses and are firmly rooted in critical thinking. Above all, J.E.U.X. allows the spectator to explore the notion of the game, to discover new interactive mechanisms and to question our place as spectators.
