The (Various) Aesthetics of play, with Ragnhild Tronstad.
Play aesthetics is a concept that can be understood in a number of ways:
As the extra-ludic “wrapping” of game mechanics; as visual expressions
typical of a particular gaming culture; or as art expressed through the
medium of play and gaming, to mention some of the most common
understandings. Discussing the implications of these and other examples, I
would like to propose an alternative understanding of the concept, not
restricted to describing properties of actual games but rather reflecting
the more general dynamic experience of being-in-play.
