Guest Director, Marie Foulston curated the 2020 edition of NOW PLAY THIS festival at Somerset House in London which features all kinds of artworks looking at games that relate to a theme of ‘Breaking Point’. As the curators wrote, “Games are the aesthetic forms of systems, and we were looking at works that break or subvert them in interesting and creative ways.” The IRL festival could not go ahead because of the pandemic and it has been postponed. The amazing lineup features, among others, Paolo Pedercini, A.M Darke, IP Yuk-Yiu, Ian MacLarty, Studio Oleomingus, Alistair Aitcheson, Danielle Udogaranya, Patrick LeMieux, Stephanie Bouk and Matteo Bittanti, the Program Manager and Professor in the Master of Arts in Game Design at IULM University.
