an enormously powerful mass entertainment, digital art and performance industry extending
deeply into every aspect of our lives, leading further to major societal and business
contacting changes.

and collaboration in its myriad digital media forms: one of its many objectives is the
exploration of 'play & learn', demonstrating new arenas and applications for digital
gaming and incorporating leading edge technologies, designs and models in our changing
views about what is involved in gaming.
