THURSDAY 10/14: Ludic Liberation Lab ~ Playing with MEMORY!
games of (re)collecting
Have you ever had the experience of being surprised by remembering something about your own life that you've forgotten?
Have you visualized another's reported memory so viscerally you felt like you were there yourself?
Are you ever conscious of "making a memory" while the experience is still happening... or forget the very thing you're up to as you're still doing it?
Do you love to revel in memories, curate them in your external environment, or feel haunted by their unwelcome recurrence?
Have you ever tried to intentionally forget something? Did it work?
This month at Ludic Liberation Lab we will be playing with memory in some of its various forms – autobiographical, episodic, prospective, working.
The main course of the Lab will involve playing a virtual version of the table top indie game Fading Memories, developed by Italian game designer Matteo Menapace. Fading Memories is a cooperative storytelling game in which the players work together to share personal memories with each other, and prevent memory loss from becoming irreversible.
We'll also play some memory warm-up games and consider whether our relationship to memory can ever truly be liberating.
Join us to play with MEMORY!
