Gtopia: Game Kitchen ist eine kollektive Anstrengung, um in Hongkong ein gemeinsames Zentrum zu schaffen, in dem sich Menschen mit Spielen verbinden, sich treffen und berufliche, kreative und persönliche Erfahrungen bei der Herstellung von Spielen austauschen können.
Das gesamte Programm beginnt am 29. Januar um 19 Uhr, kurz vor dem chinesischen Neujahrsfest. In Anbetracht der geltenden Vorschriften zur sozialen Distanzierung wird der Start in einer hybriden Form der Zusammenkunft erfolgen.
Während der physische Standort von Game Kitchen, auch bekannt als Current Plans, wie üblich geöffnet wird und unsere Gastgeber und Gastredner vor Ort sein werden, treffen wir uns auch mit allen, die über Zoom registriert sind. Wir haben ein einstündiges Programm vorbereitet, das live gestreamt wird und in dem sieben Künstler, Designer, Kuratoren und Spieler ihre Arbeit des vergangenen Jahres vorstellen, um euch einen Vorgeschmack auf all die Köstlichkeiten zu geben, die Game Kitchen im Jahr 2022 präsentieren wird.
Melden Sie sich jetzt an, und wir werden Ihnen die Links und Informationen kurz darauf zusenden.

With a background in studio art and game design, she constantly challenges the border between technology, art, and design. Fascinated by video games as an artistic medium to shape people’s understanding of their bodies and identities through rules, interactions, and navigation of virtual spaces, she creates autobiographical simulation games inspired by her observations and reflections on people and the world around her. Her recent work Hot Pot For One, a bittersweet game about making hot pot alone on Christmas Eve, has received critical acclaim, including a nomination for a BAFTA Student Award for Best Immersive. With the help of NYU Game Center Incubator program, Rachel co-founded an all-woman studio Eat Melon LLC in 2020 to develop a sex-positive card game that is now under contract for publishing with Clarkson Potter, a subsidiary of Penguin Random House.
