Fishwick Papers: The "Body Positive Dance Jams" Edition

Well hi there! What a pleasant surprise to see you! I'm not going to lie, I've been doing a lot of typing and transcribing today, so my eyes are about to fall out my ears, and my mind gave up about half an hour ago. So, if this descends into incoherent rambling, at least you'll know why.This week has involved some fun experiments. I'm working on a display about the language of games. Like there's a grammar of editing and shots in film that we've learned to read, there are different feedback and visual patterns that are common across game genres, and I'm researching those patterns to exhibit them. If you have any thoughts for what might make an interesting inclusion, hit me up! I'm keen to talk to folk about it.Anyway. Time. For. Those. LINKS.
