I’m thrilled to be hosting a session next week at the Games for Change Festival in NYC on reclaiming evaluation to empower artists and our audience. Fellow panelists include:
- Caty Borum Chattoo — Center for Media and Social Impact (CMSi) at American University
- Katherine Isbister –– Game Innovation Lab at NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering
- Colleen Macklin — PETLab at Parsons, The New School for Design
Official description:
Can we reclaim evaluation to better empower artists, our audience, and marginalized voices? What tricks of impact design can filmmakers borrow from games and vice versa? This session taps experts in ‘impact design’ who are trying new ways to maximize impact. A key focus is on shifting the hidden power relations inherent in assessment, to develop approaches that increase creativity (not stifle it). Seeking to democratize assessment and optimize it as a tool for quality rather than judgment, the panel will highlight several ambitious assessments and provide tips for teams and the field.
