Gaming the Game: Tweaking, Cheating, Hacking, Creeping

Apr 12–Apr 13, 2012
UC Davis


Gaming the Game will address the ongoing impact of new technologies on notions of subjectivity, sovereignty, property, and privacy. Participants from diverse disciplines will respond to the challenges posed simultaneously by new interactive media and new structures of technopolitical power. This two-day conference aims to consider the ludic infrastructure of contemporary culture in order to explore the various ways in which we might begin “gaming the game.” Sponsored by UC Davis Technocultural Studies, the Center for Science & Innovations Studies, UC Davis Humanities Innovation Lab, UC Davis Film Studies, and UCHRI.
