In a Nutshell
At RMIT University's GEElab, we are researching how game design thinking can positively affect and alter architecture & urbanism, mobility, popular media, storytelling, engagement, other sciences as well as society itself.
GEElab's Steffen recently spoke and mentored at X Media Lab: Global Media Ideas 2012 at the Sydney Opera House, where the latest GEElab project www.network-detox.com was launched, a satirical website and hoax detox practice that, by making the familiar strange, critically comments on digital culture at large by the way of entertainment. Alongside the website, Steffen presented GEElab projects and experimented with comedic roleplay, exercises - see the image where "patients" practice, Qigong-style, "Turn Off Your Device" - and with Network detoxification tablets (sic!) that had been specially manufactured for the occasion. Of course, they were placebos.
