Had a chance to visit the fantastic #nostalgia collection of Christopher Moore, #artist and Professor in Computation and Design Arts who “ #designs out of the present ”.
What makes up the “thing” we call #nostalgia?
Chris Moore has🪑 chairs from #TheJetsons, a 🚀 videosphere re #Sputnik, and over ☎️ 200 rotary phones.
We’ll be chatting nostalgia, #design, #art, #collection, and the “value” of it all… 🔴LIVE on DEC 3 at 13:00 (EST)

Messy, abstract, & overly politicized ideas like #nostalgia and #home — can it be an #art #workshop?
24 folks in #Montreal explored this with #burlap by reweaving intentionally.
My home was tied up by red/white 🇨🇦 and blue strings 🇹🇭. I reimagined my past more honestly, truthfully, & creatively.

Inspired by lo-fi study beats and driven by my desire for peaceful winter ambience, Endless Winters is a simple hack of EarthBound that perpetually pans over a snowy landscape.
Designed for original hardware, it functions as a installation piece that can be quickly installed using a SNES and a CRT.

What happens if your nostalgia was shattered?
@robinjss.bsky.social argued that “games-on-games” means inserting new mechanics - or a twist - into an old looking game… leading to surprising and shocking gameplay.
#Nostalgia, via #games, can generate new experiences instead of just emulating them.

The game never ends. Character sheets, props, maps, are “remnants of play” (RoP).
Preserved games & consoles give a slice of the past; RoP cues us into why ppl stopped/continued playing.
@doktornick.bsky.social: RoP are often “donations & not deliberate collections”. Big part of play/er history!

#MarkFisher locates the “eerie” in everyday settings. #TTRPGs, esp #WarHammer ‘s eerie, empty towns? Unlived but clearly once a home.
@rosgakori.bsky.social argued this gets players to engage with, and hopefully, critique history. Also, the “Empire” is temporary both in the game and the real-world.

What does nostalgia look like? At a talk I gave today at Tampere University’s OASIS lab, #nostalgia was a collection of leaves marked by people’s definitions. 🍁
They passed their leaves to others, and received a new set; if they agreed— fold once— if they did not — crumple ‘em up!
