*Call for papers: Video Game Cultures 2023*

7-9 September 2023 at University of Klagenfurt, Austria

https://vgc2023.itec.aau.at/ <https://vgc2023.itec.aau.at/>

*Conference Topic: Exploring New Horizons*

Video Game Cultures 2023 is an interdisciplinary event focusing on 
digital human artefacts. Taking place at the University of Klagenfurt in 
Austria, this conference sets out on a voyage into the realms of video 
games and digital human artifacts.

Exploration, the excitement of the new and unknown, is a superstructural 
driving force in game design, -engineering, and -studies. Yet, it is a 
concept of prevalent paradoxes, too, making it necessary for developers, 
coders, and scholars to navigate along a fine line between established 
ideas of investigations in key issues and the unorthodox overcoming of 
boundaries.

  * Those making video games can facilitate exploration with genre
    conventions supporting the sensation or dare to discover new
    configurations of video game experiences.
  * Those involved with gaming hardware are keen on pushing the limits
    of current-gen technology or usher in the next hardware sensation to
    literally change the game.
  * Academics of all disciplines are keen on finding the right tools for
    analysis within their respective orthodoxies or to prepare their
    collapse in favour of sustainable interdisciplinarity.

To find out where the future of the medium lies, what is left to do is 
explore exploration as such.

You can find our full call for papers on the conference website
