On March 21st, the first day of spring, from 1pm to 4pm, Studio XX will proudly welcome game art curator and Guest Speaker Cindy Poremba to talk about her research on documentary games as well as her unconventional game curatorial practice, as part of our Digital Ludology Workshop Series.
Cindy Poremba is a digital media researcher, creator and curator, exploring the intersection of documentary, games and interactive art through Concordia University’s Doctoral Humanities program (Montréal, QC). She is a former faculty member in Simon Fraser University’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT), and has published work in journals such as Eludamos and Games & Culture, as well as edited collections. Cindy has also organized non-traditional exhibitions such as the PoV Alternative Games Exhibition, eyeTEASers: Art Podified, and The Sustainable Forest as an independent curator; and “new arcade” events as a member of the Kokoromi game art collective. Her artistic practice explores sustainable technology practices and documentary videogames.

“I resolved to shun storytelling. I would write about life. Every person would be exactly as important as any other. All facts would also be given equal weightiness. Nothing would be left out. Let others bring order to chaos. I would bring chaos to order…” (Kurt Vonnegut, Breakfast of Champions)
