Hi there folks,

I am working with the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology on a traveling show on the history of virtual game spaces. I am curating a selection of maps of classic computer games, the sort of thing that it seems like you folks are resurrecting here on this site.

What I am collecting for the exhibition are maps, notes, instructions, etc, anything written or drawn on paper during game play. The physical documents themselves will be what is exhibited, so this is something you need to have in hand and be able to send.

Sample

The deadline is coming up quickly, as I need to ship the 30 chosen maps/papers to the UK mid-November.

If interested in submitting, you can either PM me here or email me at YYcolleYYctions@YYHplagDDDmada dot org. (remove the capital letters).

Thanks,

tim h

I've got various old game maps that I hand drew, but I have no idea where they might be by now (in a closet or garage somewhere probably).

That is the great and damning response I so often get.

I was asked to curate this portion of the exhibition because of an archive I organize, The Play Generated Map and Document Archive at www.plagmada.org. The focus of the archive so far has mostly been on table top RPGs. So many enthusiastic folks have the stuff but no longer know where it is. Or worse, they JUST threw it ot the previous week.

Alas.

This is a fun opportunity to put the old papers to good use. Let me know if they turn up.
