Finally! The talk I gave at the Eyeo Festival two months ago is on Vimeo!

It's the longest talk I've ever given, around 45 minutes long. The weirdest thing, though, is even that amount of time didn't seem enough. There was so much I wanted to say! Whatever I didn't cut out, has been crammed into this talk, give it a watch if you want:

It's full of my personal life stories, how those affected my work, and how my work then affected me. Also, lots of concrete advice on making interactive art/educational stuff, if that's your jam.

<3,

P.S: I'd Like To Be A Machine, my upcoming Explorable on learning & anxiety, will be out near the end of this month! A back-to-school special, I guess. You patrons made this possible, so sometime next week, I'll send out a survey for those of you who want to be credited in the Explorable! Thank you again for all your support. :)

Eyeo 2015 - Nicky Case

A psychobiological system (Nicky Case) uses an audiovisual system (slides & a microphone) to talk about -- you guessed it -- systems. In this talk I show you how I make interactive non-fiction, telling stories about systems -- and how I make interactive fiction, telling stories through systems. Because when people don't understand something, it leads to hate, helplessness, or worst of all, apathy.
