Hello dear english-speaking visitor…

… here’s eve­ry­thing about ArtGame wee­kend in just one page

ArtGame wee­kend is a 48 hours crea­tive event to explore the inter­con­nexion of art, game design and ad-hoc collaboration.

It’s April 22th-24th, so buy your ticket now. A quick rundown:

• On fri­day eve­ning, 45 stran­gers – artists, coders, and game desi­gners – pitches 45 ideas, select 9 and build teams around these ideas.

• They then imme­diatly start to create 9 mobile art­games! Mobile means that teams tar­get phones and/or tablets, any OS they see fit, with an app or a HTML5-based web game.

• It’s not only for deve­lop­pers: we need artists, musi­cians, inter­ac­tive desi­gners, etc. You will build your team there, you are not sup­po­sed to come as a team.

• 48 hours with nothing to think about but to create toge­ther: there is food when nee­ded, coaches to ask the impor­tant ques­tions, and a caring team of hosts.

• On sun­day eve­ning, the games are playable, and the teams demo their crea­tions in front of a jury of cool people.

• One game will be nomi­na­ted as the offi­cial win­ner of the wee­kend – but eve­ry­body wins contacts, cove­rage and above all a great sha­red moment of creativity.

ArtGame wee­kend 2 – April 22th-24th 2011, in Paris, France.

You should pro­ba­bly buy your ticket now, as nearly all the tickets are already sold: http://fr.amiando.com/artgameweekend2.html
