    A reflective essay on the productions of Book Works, the London publisher of artists' books, in relation to the development and destruction of the physical and cultural landscape of the city in which they have worked since the 1980s. I concentrate on some of the earlier books and projects as a way of understanding the aesthetic, social and institutional contexts that this unusual publishing house has worked within and helped to sustain. Richard Marshall, writing in 3AM magazine, said: 'Ian Hunt writes a roaring piece on the destruction of the built environment.

    No full text
    Video games are usually viewed as a form of escapism: pure entertainment and shoot-em-up fantasy. But increasingly, games are being recognised as educational tools, or as deliverers of social or political messages. This evolving medium is taking on complex environments and issues, and providing a platform for people to explore a world or situation in an interactive way. In this talk at the X Media Lab in Sydney, video game theorist and designer Ian Bogost gives an overview of how video games can benefit human existence. Ian Bogost is author of "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", recently listed among "50 books for everyone in the game industry". He also wrote "Persuasive Games: The Expressive Power of Videogames", and was co-author of "Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System". He is widely considered an influential thinker and doer in the videogame industry and research community. &nbsp
