Student Projects

Students in my courses frequently explore the intersection of games, computers and history through research, writing and critical making. Below are some creative projects undertaken by students in recent years:

• An Encyclopedia of the Game Industry: Every semester, NYU undergrads contribute to an online encyclopedia documenting the video game industry of our present, as a resource for the historians of our future.
• Suffragetto: Archival research and digital tools combine to bring a lost board game about the British suffragette movement back to present-day relevance.
• Diskwars: Diskwars is a three issue archival ‘zine exploring the early history of software piracy.
• Our Playful Pasts: An artistic-historical email experiment designed to emulate the slow pace of early computer game consumption.
