Research project title:
Remediation and Refunctionalization of Natural Spaces in Videogames: Perspectives, Patterns, and Impact on Society
The research project aims to study the representation of natural spaces in the modern videogame industry. It is of particular interest to see how the user/player can relate with the digital natural space, the procedural rhetoric activated in this process, and how all such interaction can impact on society. The project also aims to define a potential game design framework that could help to communicate through videogames a more sustainable interactive rhetoric between users and natural environment.
