GameZone
The GameZone is the digital playground of the ITFS and dedicated to different formats. In 2022, the GameZone will take place both on-site at the Jugendhaus Mitte and with different formats in the free online section on OnlineFestival.ITFS.de as well as in the ITFS VR Hub. In cooperation with the Landesanstalt für Kommunikation Baden-Württemberg (LFK), the Edutain Me 8.0 event will take place on May 5, 14:00 in Jugendhaus Mitte. Here, developers, publishers, and representatives from higher education and training as well as politics will discuss how games can be used purposefully in the classroom, what criteria should thereby be considered, and in what form an introduction of digital media makes sense for the teaching structure. This year’s agenda also includes the topic of inclusion and diversity. Bettina Wegenast will start off by presenting the accessible games festival PlayBern, including examples of best practice. The games can additionally be tested on site within the GameZone. Michael Möller presents “Research Results from the Classroom” and explains the results from previous projects around the use of games in the classroom. The LfK presents its project “Games in the Classroom – Gender and Sexuality in Games”. The Landeszentrale für politische Bildung Baden-Württemberg presents the new project “Timetris“, with which state history can be experienced in a playful way.
In the animation theater “Animeo and Humania” by Theater Marie (Aarau) and François Chalet (Zurich), actress and animated being romance each other and fall for the temptation of otherness, the desire to win over the counterpart.
The combination of these two art forms, which could not be more contrary, has resulted in a unique evening of theatre. The play will take place every evening from May 5 to 7, 19:00 at the FITZ! Figurentheater.
The Workshop Talk: Halbautomaten Kommunikationsdesign on 16:15 takes the audience to the Stuttgart Planetarium where the Stuttgart-based studio for communication and design present their ‘Kinetarium’. In the ‘Kinetarium’, visitors control events on the planetarium dome together and in real time – via a website on their smartphone.
