queer game jam
21-25 august 2023
10:00-16:00
queer game jam is a week-long workshop with french artist chloé desmoineaux initiated by aerial, in collaboration with BEK - Bergen senter for elektronisk kunst. the workshop will be based around the themes of technofeminism and queer video-gaming. we will start by drawing from chloe’s fanzines and resources from various cyberfeminist networks from spain, france and belgium. afterwards we will be initiating a game jam around speculative storytelling, inspired by historical accounts, norwegian queer narratives and personal narratives. there will be simple tools at our disposal, including fantasy consoles! these are easy for the uninitiated but are no less interesting for people at ease with game development. towards the end of the workshop, we will build an itinerant arcade terminal, using building facades as a game screen.

It also organizes events and workshops on digital art and culture. co-organizer of the art games demos (2017-2019) initiative with isabelle arvers, desmoineaux has curated several exhibitions about the culture, aesthetics and ideology of gaming in the past decade. her work has been exhibited internationally. she led several workshops on alternative controllers, glitch aesthetics, interactive animations, and video games. desmoineaux also lives and works as a teacher in marseille.
