| Breaking Everything: Critical Play with 21st Century Existentialists Saturday, April 6, 2019, 4:00 - 6:00 pm 291 Church Street, NYC Human beings, thrown into games. Games, thrown into human beings. Games playing games. Humans playing humans. “Mute irrationality” was Camus’ way to approach describing the indescribable condition of human absurdity in the 20th century. Mary Flanagan will discuss games that follow a tradition of existentialism more than that of either art or technology. This event is free and open to the public. RSVP here. |
