MAGfest 13, January 23-26th 2015
Short for “Music And Gaming Festival,” MAGFest is a four day long festival dedicated to the appreciation of video game music, gaming of all types, and the gaming community. What makes MAGFest unique is that it’s a non-profit event run by fans for fans. There are no corporate sponsors and MAGFest is built from the ground up to focus on community and fan creations.
foci + loci will perform on Saturday, Jan 24th at 5pm and Tamara Yadao will take part in the MAGES panel talk ‘Is Game Art Art?’ on Jan 25th at 1pm.

Salon Ludique – December 4th, 2014
Frequencies:
In light of the rise of reactionary, anti-feminist movements in gaming and other cultural milieus, this edition of Salon Ludique offers a response to such troubling trends by exploring gender-critical practices in digital and analog games, performance, and new media. These works serve as a critical commentary on gendered stereotypes, as well as questions of consent, sexuality, and identity.
Featuring the work of: Allison Cole, Jessica Marcotte and Zachary Miller (Montreal), Nina Freeman (NYC), Rachel Weil (AKA Partytime! Hexcellent!) (Austin, TX)
AND a chip music performance by Corset Lore in collaboration with Partytime! Hexcellent! who will be providing a live visual set coded for the NES

Game Art in the Knowable Space
November 7
7pm
$10 General Ticket
$5 Artists and Students
The aesthetics of video games are rerouted to create works of art, music, and cinema that subvert game mechanics and the experience of play. Game artist and machinima maker Chris Burke curates a showcase of artists who are using games beyond their intended purpose, as tools for making art. The exhibited works explore the finite, or “knowable,” potential of the programmed game environment.
With artwork from Alex Myers, Annie Ok, Jeff Donaldson, Rosa Menkman, Friedrich Kirschner, Victor Morales, Kent Sheely and Tom Murphy VII
