Pixelated - The Online Conference About PLAY
Riffing off the Mitch Joel post, who got his idea from Bryan Eisenberg’s OnClick. I decided to make my virtual Pixelated conference about Play and Games.
Without further ado, Pixelated: Play
Here’s Austin Hill from Akoha presenting at TechCrunch50:
Here’s a quick snip from the gang at Area|Code regarding one of their games:
Watch Jane McGonigal talk about alternate reality games:
Will Wright talks about games that makes worlds (Spore):
Sugata Mitra on how kids teach themselves (replace “kids” with people learning in unique ways):
Anuzis explains The Prisoner’s Dilemma:
Jeff Minter: Llamasoft and the Space Giraffe:
What makes this idea cool is that anyone can mash anything into a theme and build a conference of ideas around it. Not the same as a face-to-face event, but this took me about 40 minutes of searching to find hours of great information that I could curate into my own project. Know who’s believed in this forever? Steve Rosenbaum at Magnify. He pioneered the idea of video curation as a creative effort a few years back, and is still going strong.
What’s YOUR Pixelated conference going to be about?

Chris - Loved the idea yesterday and got around to putting mine together in honor of you, Mitch and OnClick’s idea. I hope to see many others put these together. Check mine out at http://jpickett1968.wordpress.com/2008/10/05/pixelated-conference-creativity-inspiration-productivity-and-success/
This idea is flippin’ OUTSTANDING! I’m not blogging for a little while,so I can get my ideas together and get use to all the other cool web 2.0 tools…taking things slow. I’m into squidoo.com, so maybe I can do something like this with a lens? I don’t know but I’ll look into it. If not, I’ll work something out. This is a wonderful idea! You Rock!

Chris,
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks for the great idea! I used the Pixelated Conference idea and turned into a “online course” called Introduction to Web 3.0: A free online course. In the past two days ince I starting posting the I have seen my blog stats increase by 50 percent. I think I will periodically offer online courses on a variety of new and emerging topics of interest. Chekc out my bolg at nmbaker.wordpress.com.

I provided hyperlinks on my site to all the Pixelated Conferences I could find that have been submitted thus far - hoping to keep this idea alive and well!

Chris,
Neat conference, on a subject I might not normally dig into. I loved The Prisoner’s Dilemma. I kept thinking about how that could be used in real life situations. Still turning it over in my head. Thanks for putting yours up!

I absolutely love this concept. I’m sure you or Mitch or somebody has thought of it, but there should be a central catalog/archive of all of these great Pixelated events.
(Thinking now about what to create one on.. hmm….)
