Statement:
In conjunction with ISEA2008, Asia-Europe Foundation supported by NUS Museum and School of Technology for the Arts, Republic Polytechnic organises, from 22 until 29 July 2008, the 6th Asia-Europe Art Camp gathering 20 emerging artists from 16 countries. Conceptualised around the theme of gaming, the camp will focus on the nature of our contemporary ludic culture while taking into account the psychology of and theories about gaming. Electronic games and their roles in society will be discussed as well as the possibilities for Asia-Europe game development collaborations and industry-artist-researcher partnerships. Through an intensive programme of lectures, workshops and project work, the participants will conclude the camp with a presentation of their creative collaborations with a special showcase on the last day of the camp. The project aims at developing a platform to promote dialogue among art students and for them to learn more about one another’s contexts and cultures.
