The Canadian Game Studies Association's symposium Artcade is both an evening social event and an opportunity for Canadian/Canadian-resident game artists to showcase dynamic and diverse game artworks. The CGSA will play host to a range of works including a machinima screening, live performance, game demos and of course playable digital games.

CGSA ARTCADE launch party: Thursday, September 21st, 2006
York University TEL Building
Starts at 7pm
Open to Guests

Here is information on some of the artists scheduled to showcase work/perform/make merry at the Artcade:

   Prize Budget for Boys Calderoids & PacMondrian

   Maia Engeli Dollhouse

   Jim Munroe Pleasure Circuit Overload

   Sean Arden Pass or Fail

  Heather Kelley Lapis

  Jonathan Mak everydayShooter

  Myfanwy Ashmore Mario Battle No.1

  yumi -Co. (absent) CuteXdoom

  Barry Smylie (absent) Circ

  Joe McKay (absent) select works

And so my utopian dream of bringing together Canuck art geeks inches onward. In unrelated news, a tiny Mary Flanagan and her giant joystick appear in the print version of September's Edge magazine, giving some legitimacy to its claim as a magazine of videogame culture (which, yes, does go beyond your local EB).
