Cultural Events - February to June 2010 - University of Ulster

Alan Hook, School of Media, Film and Journalism at Ulster, will
consider the use of play in virtual spaces as a continuing thread
through his practice based research. These investigations into
participatory ludic encounters have seen his work exhibited
both in virtual galleries in places such as Second Life, an online
3D virtual world, but also as part of the permanent collection
in The Tech Museum in San Jose, California. Alan will discuss
a number of projects which look at play, games and virtual
environments and explore the thin and blurry line between
Videogames and Metaverses.
