From Darkness - Research in east africa

Wednesday, 17 April 2013 - 21:30

For our documentary computer game, which has been awarded the Salzburg Prize for Media Art 2012, we went to a research trip to Kenia and Uganda in order to learn about East African actualities of life in between booming region, vicitm of civil war and conflicts over resources. Our presentation will offer insight into the research and our plans for the upcoming game. Just like with our game and media project "Frontiers", we aim at not only informing, when giving work-in-progress presentations, but we are also interested in hearing about suggestions and ideas.
