Playthink

Game salon

Playthink is a USC-based salon about games, interactivity, art and culture. Since 2013, we have held a semi-regular series of discussions at the USC Game Innovation Lab that are dedicated to drawing out provocative ideas around play, games, art and interactivity. Since 2018, we have added a podcast component to our salon. Now you can listen to Playthink episodes on this page, below, or by subscribing to our feed on iTunes, Amazon, or YouTube podcasts.

Note: We’ve been a bit swamped the past several years, but we’re back now with more Playthink, so subscribe and keep your eye out for announcements!

Upcoming and past salons

September 2014 Playthink@USC

The USC School of Cinematic Arts’ Game Innovation Lab would like to invite you to the first Playthink of the Fall semester!

When: Tuesday, September 9th from 6pm to 9pm
Where: SCI 201 on the second floor of the School of Cinematic Arts SCI building

Playthink has become a lively nexus of community for USC Games. With the banner line of “games and play as art and culture”, we meet a few times a semester to host wide-ranging, audience-participatory discussions of the history, present and futures of games and interactive media.

Everyone in the USC community is welcome – we hope to see you there!
