[Mathias Fuchs]

Call for Participation
Workshop: Rethinking Gamification
A Workshop about the Potential and Implications of Gamification
(Incubator at Leuphana University, Art & Civic Media Lab at the Centre 
for Digital Cultures)

Aims of the Workshop

This call is for an initial gathering of scholars, practitioners and 
creatives to start the process of rethinking what “Gamification” means - 
after the first hype has cooled down. We intend to form a group of 
critical thinkers in order to develop research perspectives, theoretical 
positions, concepts and projects that change our ideas of how we will 
look at gamification. A publication and other forms of presentation are 
planned to take place, supported by the Centre for Digital Cultures at 
Leuphana University.
