Workshop at IT-University of Copenhagen
\nFriday 20th and Saturday 21st of May 2005<\/p>\n
?THE THIRD PLACE? – COMPUTER GAMES AND OUR CONCEPTION OF THE REAL<\/p>\n
Computer games have become a dominant influence in modern culture, and are set to gain an ever increasing importance in the years to come. This development gives rise to a number of questions. Among these is the question how computer games challenge and affect traditional conceptions of what it is for something to be real.<\/p>\n
The aim of the workshop is to initiate a discussion between computer games researchers and philosophers on this question: What is the ontological status of the objects and events in a computer game, and how do they relate to objects and events outside of the game? On the one hand, an answer to this question must recognize that objects and events in computer games are real in some sense. On the other hand, it must also recognize that they are not real in quite the same sense as objects and events outside of the game are. To accommodate the reality of these objects and events, we need to consider our conception of the real as such.<\/p>\n
The workshop is open to everyone, and interested parties that are unable to attend are encouraged to notify the organizers if they are interested in possible collaboration or information about future initiatives.<\/p>\n
