UCLA Game Lab creates a new way to get into gaming culture starting Thursday with a workshop that could lead your punk game being in the opening exhibition on Saturday. Hope to hear about some crazy punk hair styles and perhaps a game based on them.

From the UCLA game lab site:
Punk Arcade is a videogame art exhibition and workshop inspired by rapid prototyping and DIY culture. Punk Arcade is curated by Sarah Brin and Lee Tusman.
Participate in an intensive 3-day workshop November 7-9 OR attend the November 9 public opening of Punk Arcade.

Make punk games.
Design an exhibition.
Or publish a zine.
  • Race against the clock to create work to be featured in the PUNK ARCADE exhibition opening on Saturday night.
  • No prior game design experience necessary.
  • Grab a spot on of the game design, exhibition display or zine teams. Includes workshop/studio time on Friday and Saturday.

11/9, 6-9pm EXHIBITION:
Come play punk videogames designed by students, artists and game designers. For one night only, the space will be transformed into a massive celebration of independent, minimalist and accessible game culture.
