[DiGRA UK] Fukushima Game Jam - University of Lincoln Games Research Network

[Paolo Ruffino]

We invite students, artists, designers, *stalkers *to a 48-hour game making
challenge.

On the 11th March 2011 a tsunami caused a nuclear accident at the Fukushima
Daiichi power plant in Japan. In 2015, a group of artists installed
artworks in the exclusion zone as part of the exhibition *Don't Follow the
Wind*. New York-based artists Eva and Franco Mattes took a series of photos
from the radioactive area. Photos have been turned into a texture pack to
be used in video games and 3D environments. On 8th March 2019, the textures
will be used as part of a game jam at University of Lincoln, UK.
Start: 8th March at 6pm
End: 10th March 6pm
Room: INB1102

No game design or programming skills required!
