SHOW: NOW PLAY THIS: A FESTIVAL OF EXPERIMENTAL GAME DESIGN (APRIL 3-5 2020, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM)

I'm really happy to join a cohort of impressive artists for the 2020 edition of NOW PLAY THIS: A festival of experimental game design at Somerset House in London curated by Marie Foulston. The festival features all kinds of artworks looking at games that relate to a theme of ‘Breaking Point’. As the curators write: “Games are the aesthetic forms of systems, and we were looking at works that break or subvert them in interesting and creative ways.” The IRL festival could not go ahead because of the pandemic and it has been postponed. The amazing lineup features, among others, Paolo Pedercini, A.M Darke, IP Yuk-Yiu, Ian MacLarty, Studio Oleomingus, Alistair Aitcheson, Danielle Udogaranya, Patrick LeMieux, Stephanie Bouk. My 2015 project, How to get rid of homeless is featured in the selection.

BOOK. FLIGHT CANCELLED

I am delighted to announce that my new book, Flight Cancelled, is now available from Concrete Press.

Flight Cancelled is a collection of comments written by consumers who flew with Alitalia, Italy's flagship air carrier, between 2003 and 2016. These travel experiences were originally published online. They are reproduced in this book in unedited and unabridged form. These are stories of frustration and resistance. Loss and sorrow. Hope and resignation. Negligence and resilience. These are horror stories. These are cautionary tales.
