A bold new metaphysics that explores how all things--from atoms to green chiles, cotton to computers--interact with, perceive, and experience one another
Prof. Ian Bogost Livres
30 décembre 1976
Ian Bogost est un célèbre concepteur de jeux vidéo, critique et chercheur dont le travail enquête sur l'intersection des jeux, des médias et de la culture. Ses analyses explorent en profondeur la manière dont les jeux fonctionnent comme modes de communication et d'expression, révélant leur potentiel à influencer et à articuler des idées complexes. L'approche de Bogost emploie souvent la critique créative, utilisant la conception de jeux elle-même, comme le satirique Cow Clicker, pour éclairer des aspects de l'industrie du jeu et de l'interaction numérique.
