Making slides on old games… “old” games… my god these were 15+ years ago

A café where you get a sketch from the past (e.g., #2000s #CartoonNetwork style, 80s #comicbook style) by a live and professional #artist

Folks also exchanged stories, adding a second layer of #nostalgia in the air — and making that present moment a future nostalgic thing to look back to.

Loved chatting with @elliotskiesstuff.bsky.social about their work.

Deeply in touch with their work as much as they are with the people who share its joy.

Yet another prime example of what we can do with something as politicized, abstracted, and deeply personal as #nostalgia.

What was a simple question (how can we "use nostalgia for the future?") for 5 grad students in 2022, soon became an active network of 90 artists & scholars from 12 countries.

We’ll be covering #Goffman focused and unfocused interactions, impression management and #livestreaming #twitch examples, as well as #ragequitting and #roles in #videogames

🤓 Super excited!

Our team wrote about where and how gaming-triggered nostalgia can help us cope and stay feeling good. We're Chapter 15, called "Take Eight Bits and Call Me in the Morning" - Video Games, Well-Being, and the Psychology of Nostalgia (p. 15 to 32).

Give a peek, and let's chat more!

Had a chance to visit the fantastic #nostalgia collection of Christopher Moore, #artist and Professor in Computation and Design Arts who “ #designs out of the present ”.

What makes up the “thing” we call #nostalgia?

Chris Moore has🪑 chairs from #TheJetsons, a 🚀 videosphere re #Sputnik, and over ☎️ 200 rotary phones.

We’ll be chatting nostalgia, #design, #art, #collection, and the “value” of it all… 🔴LIVE on DEC 3 at 13:00 (EST)

Messy, abstract, & overly politicized ideas like #nostalgia and #home — can it be an #art #workshop?

24 folks in #Montreal explored this with #burlap by reweaving intentionally.

My home was tied up by red/white 🇨🇦 and blue strings 🇹🇭. I reimagined my past more honestly, truthfully, & creatively.

Endless Winters by Michael Iantorno A lo-fi ambient hack of EarthBound

Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape.

Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.

On Nov 25, we'll be Weaving Stories of Home. If you are in #montreal then, come join me at the Milieux Institute, where you will:

- Learn to unweave & reweave with two #textiles specialists
- Share and create a "material home" for your #nostalgia
- Drink hot choc during a snow day :-)

☃️☕️ Sunday snowfall, coffee in hand, and reading abstracts for the « #Games and #Nostalgia for the Future » book I’m putting together.

So happy to see proposals from #videogame #gamedev #gamedevs #gameartists #indiegames and #gamestudies researchers.

Can’t wait to put it all together… COMING SOON!

TMR!! « Nostalgia, code, & the End of the World » a 🔴LIVE talk with Alex Klexber.

Solo #gamedev who made a #nostalgia game wishlisted over 10,000 times.
