SpilBar 8.0 is organized in collaboration with Nikolaj Kunsthal and the Dutch Embassy, and takes place in Nikolaj Kunsthal in Copenhagen in the middle of the Space Invaders exhibition on January 26th 17-19.

We have invited a bunch of Danish and Dutch Game developers and artists to tell us about their favorite gaming moment – either one they have already experienced or one they imagine to experience in the future.
The style is microtalk or ‘pecha kucha’, where each speaker gets 20x 20 seconds. After the talks, the Dutch Embassy have bought Heineken for everyone!

Save the date – we will be back in January with more info.

Where: Nikolaj Kunsthal, Nikolaj Plads 10, 1067 København K
When: Thursday, January 26th, 17-19
Why: Because games are for real

Everybody plays games – from physical games like Solitaire, Bridge and Chess to digital ones like Wordfeud, Angry Birds, Skyrim and Farmville.
When playing the experience and emotions are real – even if the game is not. And now game designers and artists all over the world are challenging the space around the game with physical games like Johan Sebastian Joust, B.U.T.T.O.N., Fingle and the game experiences at the Space Invaders exhibition at Nikolaj Kunsthal in Copenhagen.

But what happens in the meeting between game and life? Why does the game feel real and how?

We have asked a bunch of artists and game developers from The Netherlands and Denmark to share their perfect gaming moment – either one they have already experienced or one they imagine to experience in the future.

The style is ‘Pecha Kucha’ or microtalk where each speaker gets 20 x 20 seconds (and 20 slides) to present.

Join us for Spilbar 8.0 hosted at Nikolaj Kunsthal in the middle of the interactive exhibition Space Invaders.
