whole game development process. We invite you to send in projects witch cool technologies, amazing graphics, mindboggling mechanics or page turning stories.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The theme of ACE 2013 is "Making New Knowledge". We especially welcome novel showcases and interactive art that relate to this year's conference theme, inspired by John Seely Brown's lecture on "tinkering as a mode of
knowledge construction", by the fact that making games and toys is often even more fun than playing with them, and by the very hands-on creative approach with which ACE participants have always explored the boundaries of creative technology.
