The Art History of Games is a three-day public symposium in which members of the fields of game studies, art history and related areas of cultural studies gather to investigate games as an art form. Speakers include Ian Bogost, Brenda Brathwaite, Jesper Juul, Frank Lantz, Henry Lowood, Christiane Paul, John Romero, and more.
Also featured in the conference is the premiere of three commissioned art games, from Jason Rohrer, Tale of Tales, and Eric Zimmerman. The designers will exhibit their work and participate in the symposium.
Organized by Georgia Tech Digital Media and SCAD Atlanta, the symposium will be held Feb. 4-6 in the High Museum of Art’s Rich Auditorium on the campus of the Woodruff Arts Center, 1280 Peachtree St. N.E., in midtown Atlanta.
Register by January 5 for reduced rates.

That flyer pic is HILARIOUS. I have the pipe on my wall right above my head now, one of my favorite pieces of art ever. Speaks so perfectly to my fascination with all things ‘virtual.’
