Digifest 2002 Wrapup Report
Final day's theme: game space. Fewer presentations, but high in technogeek content. Eric Zimmerman expounded on the theory of play. Games can be far more than mere first-person shooters. Among the other presentations: a feminist counterculture game titled Babes in the Woods; a simulation-documentary Pax Warrior, where one adopts the role of UN Force Commander during the Rwandan genocide of 1994; and Pirates!, presented by Lars Erik Holmquist, a wireless social party game where players engaged both face-to-face and via the computer. diginiche showed off some cool interactive visualization technology, though perhaps this better fit the theme of immersive space. ::
