Magic in Complexity - Embracing the 4D design-arts

The next ECiD II event will take place on the 23rd of February at the University of East London and will comprise Workshops, Performances/Exhibitions and a Networking Dinner.

Hosted by the SMARTlab MAGIC Research Group of the Graduate School, University of East London - a practice-based research centre - it aims to stimulate intellectual academic exchange between researchers and practitioners dealing with complexity theory.

The workshop will explore directions in design research concerning the digital arts with particular focus on games design. Many designs increasingly involve dynamic performances associated with products and systems. Complexity science aims to understand complexities of such situations and there is recognition that designers in the digital arts, such as in game design and interactive art often deal with complexity and can offer insights into practical applications of complexity theories.
