In a post-digital era, where computation is increasingly inseparable from our lives, and playful approaches in art and design cross pure entertainment or mere speculation, how do new media and technologies and their aesthetics support ludic experiences in multiple domains of life? How can playfulness in and by computation promote new understandings and creativity?
The Ludic Aesthetics Online Exhibition presents 15 works that explore ludic aesthetics as an essential way of reflecting, challenging, and creating meaning in society and techno-culture. The relationships between the works offer a diverse and dynamic showcase of playfulness at its core in creative coding and computation.
This exhibition responds to the need to discuss the role of creative coding and computing in developing ludic aesthetics while reflecting on ludic as a general aspect inherent, especially in the arts and computational design.
