wombflash forest: Music & Games as Shifting Possibility Spaces<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Quoting the hell out of this because it is just so, so good. I love the idea of shifting possibility spaces, because the original concept was always too static for my tastes. I really like the idea of the body as the medium, which emphasises the first-person experience of things. To embrace creative play, to expand the concept of game to potentially encompass anything\u2026 Just lovely.<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
