The evening will start with a short introduction on the topic GameOn by Mario Viviani, who is a passionate developer at Amazon. His current mission is to help others to create games on iOS and Android (including the Kindle Fire). Then Naz Amarchi-Cuevas will dive into the world of Gaming and Entertainment Franchises, the startup scene in Berlin, and how Germany can play a much bigger role in this industry and create impact in both Hollywood and Silicon Valley.
Today we know that games are cultural artefacts. But against which background is this knowledge based on and how did it emerge historically? The new timeline of the Computerspielemuseum, which was funded by the Capital Cultural Fund, presents the unfolding cultural history of digital games and points to crucial events in the formation of gaming culture. It will be first presented to the public at games:net berlinbrandenburg & BerlinBalticNordic.net PRESENT NAZ AMARCHI-CUEVAS and will be then accessible at www.gamesanthropology.net.
