"Up Close and Personal: Documenting Design with the Method for Design Materialization"
Workshop Leader: Pippin Barr (Concordia University)
Thursday, May 4th, 2023. 4:30-6 PM EST.  Free. Online / Zoom.

In this workshop, we will introduce the Method for Design Materialization (MDM), an approach to documenting digital design processes at all levels. We will focus on the software engineering technology of version control, a way to track and recover the history of a software development project, showing how it can be used to rigorously track not just changes to software, but the entire design and development lifecycle.

Pippin Barr is an experimental game designer and Associate Professor of Computation Arts at Concordia University. He is a prolific maker of videogames, producing work addressing everything from airplane safety instructions to the nature of videogames and videogame technologies. He is a well-known figure in the independent and artistic videogame scenes, makes his source code and process documentation publicly available via his presence on GitHub, and his forthcoming book, The Stuff Games Are Made Of (2023, MIT Press), discusses videogame design from the perspective of its materials.
