The Potential of Play:
Digital Game Innovation

Digital game designer Tracy Fullerton explores questions about the future of games and the potential of this playful medium to address serious subject matter, inspire activism, promote learning, reinforce values, and transmit ideas and concepts. In this presentation, Fullerton uses examples from recent projects, including the award-winning games Cloud, flOw, and Hush, as well as The Night Journey, an experimental game being created with media artist Bill Viola.

Steve Anderson, director of the Ph.D. program in media arts and practice at the University of Southern California, offers a response, followed by roundtable discussion with the audience.
