Come Out & Play Festival 2010

Rhizome.org Announcements — Wed, 26 May 2010 19:12:23 +0000

Games leap off the screen and into the real-world at the Come Out & Play Festival, June 4-6

From June 4-6 you won't be limited to the confines of your living room or arcade to play your favorite games. At the Come Out & Play Festival players get the chance to target human "asteroids" in a real-life interpretation of Asteroids and catch falling "bombs" in live-action remake of the Atari classic Geo Melee'>. These games break video games free of TVs and tiny cellphone screens and return the action to the great outdoors.

Of course not every game requires high-tech gadgetry. The festival also features new sports like CounterSquirt'>.

The festival includes family-friendly fare like the Walt Disney Imagineering team's Cross My Heart + Hope to Die'>.

And for those looking for more debauched fun, get in on the action with Humans vs. Zombies'>.

The Come Out & Play Festival takes over the Brooklyn Lyceum from June 4-6 and spreads out around Park Slope, Prospect Park and the Gowanus Canal. Stop by the opening party on Friday night to play a slew of party games and register for games. Then spend Saturday and Sunday outdoors exploring Brooklyn and playing. Interested in new field sports? Jump into the action on the field behind festival partner, The Old Stone House. Game registration is on a first-come-first serve basis, so stop by the festival HQ at the Lyceum to grab a spot in games you like.

Now in it's fifth year the Come Out & Play Festival continues to grow and explore new ways to play. This year the festival features a pirate radio station run by Nonchalance which will bring an interactive game to the radio waves and keep you updated on the action from games around the festival. Each year the festival draws hundreds of designers from around the world and thousands of players from across the country together for three-days of experimental play.

Come Out & Play will expand its reach and bring some New York street game action to the West Coast this fall, with events in San Francisco at the Giant Robot store and Los Angeles at the game festival IndieCade.

Recently, an intriguing new breed of MFA has popped up in several universities — the MFA in public or social practice. California College of the Arts, Otis College [...]
