With the support of PA Humanities and The Grotto, we're thrilled to announce: philosophical discussions on the last Tuesday of every month, beginning in October!
Join Ren, Josh, and Tiffani for “What’s the Point of Games?: a Philosophical Discussion” at The Grotto on Tuesday, October 27 from 7 to 9 pm.
We'll discuss the following questions and more:
Do games have a value or purpose beyond “having fun” or passing the time?
Does playing games achieve something that other activities don’t, or do something better than other activities can?
Are games a form of art? What distinguishes games from other forms of art?
Guidelines for discussion and a brief advance reading from Thi Nguyen’s Games: Agency as Art will be emailed to participants upon registration. The experiential component of the event will be a game of Spyfall (a game discussed in the text) to inform the conversation.
Please reserve your spot in advance here: https://buytickets.at/tigerrabbitstudio/2435717
We can't wait to see some new faces and continue our philosophical conversations and experiences in a new venue.
PS: it's been a wild week with the studio move still in progress and Ren's trip to Pittsburgh! The video is a screen test recorded with PaX fellows at The Andy Warhol Museum during an incredible first Cultural Exchange Weekend.
