We’re preparing the controllers for the upcoming Playtime - Video Game mythologies exhibit at the Swiss Museum of Science Fiction in Yverdon (Switzerland). In this case, we will feature only the “official” joypads, which is already quite big. This portion of the collection will be part of a section called “Bodies and Minds”:

Joysticks and game pads have been the traditional interface between the player and the avatar, the thread that entangles both bodies. In recent years, though, both the video game industry and independent artists and researchers have presented new innovative ways to strengthen the role of the body in game interaction. From Nintendo’s Wii and Microsoft’s Kinect to more experimental corporal interfaces that play with notions of control and even pain, the future of game interaction will, no doubt, involve our flesh and skin in unexpected ways.

The opening is March 12, please come say hi!

NEW screens of Lionhead’s Fable: The Journey coming this September to Xbox 360 built from the ground up for Kinect. Looks fun, can’t wait to give it a try. It’s the art that always draws me into the world of Fable and it looks great with their new engine they’re using for this.
