The FACTS GAME JAM 2024, organized online and on-site by A MAZE., Slovak Game Developer Association and the Goethe-Institut Bratislava from April 5 to April 7 2024.
The FACTS GAME JAM is focusing on games and playful media (VR/ AR/ XR) and on how new technologies such as AI, VR, Chat GPT etc. influence the way information is now produced, distributed and presented. In the digital era, journalists face different challenges related to privacy, sourcing, conflicts of interest, objectivity, and the ambivalence of facts and fakes. New technological developments can both strengthen journalism and weaken it. They open possibilities for new forms of producing (e.g. community journalism) and storytelling beyond the fact or fake binary. In this ambivalence game mechanics can potentially support a better understanding of societal challenges and political conflicts.
Apply here until February 29, 2024.
The winning team will present the created work on May 8-11 at A MAZE. / Berlin 2024.
