This is the presentation I gave a few weeks back at the second ‘Serious Games’ expert meeting, organized by the Netherlands Study Centre for Technology Trends (STT) for their Future study Serious Games. The afternoon session took place at Hyves headquarters. You can view back some reports and videos from previous sessions here.

Last week on October 28 2010 I gave a talk about ‘The Hybrid City’ for PULS at La Citta Mobile in Eindhoven during the Dutch Design Week. The event was organized by MAD emergent art center. Below my presentation slides (PDF 1,4 MB).
Today I did a guest lecture for the course “Digital Art and Culture” at the Radboud University Nijmegen. I talked about mobile and locative media, and their implications for urban space, social relations, and identity.

Yesterday I gave a short presentation at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam about the possibilities to use mobile media for a food awareness campaign by FairFood. Students have to design and develop a campaign involving the mobile phone for the ‘Green Dot’ award (a sustainable alternative to the Golden Dot award by the HvA’s Instituut voor Interactieve Media). I focussed on the location-based possibilities of mobile phone.

Last Friday, October 27, I did a talk for the Transito Festival 2006 at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. It was an evening about identity and technology.
Here’s the PDF of the presentation Mobile phone as gift culture (Dutch).
Last thursday, December 8, the full Playful Identities Group (P.I.G.) got together at Waag Society for a meeting amongst ourselves and later with a couple of people from Waag Society. Eva Nieuwdorp, the third AIO of the group, joined us starting December 1st 2005, so all 6 of us were there: Jos de Mul, Valerie Frissen, Joost Raessens, Jeroen Timmermans, Eva Nieuwdorp and myself. We introduced ourselves to the others and talked about some practical matters.
At 14:00 Waag Society joined in, chaired by Henk van Zeijts, head of the division Creative Learning. First, we introduced the research topic, and separately introduced our individual topics. After that, Waag Society introduced a few of their projects, specifically those that have to do with identity, mobile communication and learning. Waag Society are looking for more scientific depth, and we are looking for ways to collaborate with organisations that ‘produce’ new technologies.
The most interesting project I believe was Frequency 1550 that will be transformed in the future into Frequency Nu. It’s a project that explores the way ubiquitous computing/communication can be introduced into a learning environment.
Below the preparatory notes a made for the meeting, briefly discussing narrative identity, some shortcomings, and some ways in which the central concept of ‘play’ should be introduced into a ludic theory of identity.
Social Cities of Tomorrow is an international conference & workshop in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from 14 − 17 February 2012.
