SUMMARY:Cubature: The Art Game - Vernissage.
DESCRIPTION:The exhibition at the Polish Institute Berlin gallery invites visitors into the world of the indie game Cubature\, a new project blending art and puzzle gameplay by Polish studio Cyber Kids on Real. Its creators describe it as an interactive experience where space itself reacts to the player. The show recreates the game’s visual and narrative ideas in a physical\, immersive environment using objects\, video elements\, sound\, movement\, and the game itself.\nCubature combines simple mechanics with complex design\, featuring handmade film sets\, DIY aesthetics\, and a distinctive soundtrack. Instead of digital rendering\, it uses filmed\, real-world scenography built around a one-meter cube.\nPlayers connect and move modular cells to build increasingly complex structures\, experiencing how complexity emerges from simple elements—while being both an active player and the smallest unit in the system. In the gallery\, visitors can play the game or step inside the installation and briefly become part of its world.\nThe exhibiton runs until June 26\, 2026&nbsp\;\n\nThe opening hours of the gallery are :\nTuesday–Thursday&nbsp\;13–18 Uhr\, Friday 13–17 Uhr\n\nThe event is part of A MAZE. / Berlin 2026 – the 15th International Games and Playful Media Festival.\n

SUMMARY:Qualia
DESCRIPTION:Qualia combines different new-media practices and perspectives\, rethinking how realtime simulations can intersect with live music performance. The result guides the audience on a pilgrimage into the inner world of an organism\, an agent revealing its hidden systems\, symbols and hierarchies raising the question: what is it like? The characteristics of mental states are often described to carry an explanatory gap in which we struggle to tell about experiences to others. This ontological shock cannot be communicated\, or apprehended by any means other than direct experience. Simulating empathy in this\, is an attempt to directly understand and relate to the qualia of another's experience\, bridging the gap between multiple\, separate inner worlds.

SUMMARY:Samples - An Interactive Music Installation
DESCRIPTION:SAMPLES is the new interactive music installation by My name is Fuzzy. It transforms the exhibition space into a giant music creation software. The project explores a form of “analog” augmented reality\, meaning without a visible digital interface. The installation consists of about ten large-format\, brightly colored canvases\, each representing a sound sample that activates and modulates according to the movements of people in the space. Beyond offering an immersive and collective experience\, the installation questions the influence the public exerts on an artist's work: here\, the artwork is only revealed through the presence of visitors\, and it constantly evolves according to their interaction. After gaining recognition for his unique style and playful installations in numerous art venues and festivals in Switzerland and Europe\, Bastien Bron continues his artistic approach with SAMPLES: offering pop and electronic music in innovative\, hybrid\, and singular forms.\n\nhttps://www.mynameisfuzzy.ch/samples/

SUMMARY:Cubature: How to Make a Game from Wood
DESCRIPTION:The talk focuses on the artistic process behind Cubature as a path from a physical experiment to a playable system. The presentation walks through the entire development process — from early concepts and the creation of the visual language\, through hand-built scenography\, working with wood and simple tools\, and video production with actors\, to music production and the implementation of these elements into the digital environment. Cubature is presented here as an IP with the potential to operate in different formats — as a digital game\, a possible exhibition format\, an educational tool\, and a project open to collaboration with institutions\, institutional partners and — importantly — also with business\, with the potential to function within an international market.

SUMMARY:The Emotional Labour of Making Games
DESCRIPTION:Production in game development is often described through the metaphors of engineering: systems\, pipelines\, resources\, deliverables. But beneath the spreadsheets lies another layer of work - one that is seldom named. This talk explores game production as emotional labour: the invisible cognitive and relational work that holds teams together\, that facilitates psychological safety. Drawing on the concept of the “mental load” (the often-gendered work of anticipating needs\, managing tensions\, and carrying responsibility in the background) it questions how we might frame production as care and maintenance. Through studio experience and personal reflection I offer provocations on soft-skill matters of morale\, conflict and pressure.

SUMMARY:Open Screens: Taarof: Be My Guest
DESCRIPTION:Muhammad and Farid have met at the same restaurant every year for over twenty years. They know the waiter. They know the menu. They know each other. &nbsp\;What they don’t know is how to stop insisting. &nbsp\;Inspired by the Middle Eastern ritual of taarof\, this local 2-player game turns exaggerated politeness into physical comedy. Open the door. Order the food. Take the first bite. Pay the bill. Simple moments become tense standoffs as both players try to let the other go first. &nbsp\;Kindness becomes competition. Politeness becomes pressure. &nbsp\;How far will you go to prove you care?

SUMMARY:Folk Games: Game Design by Passing Along
DESCRIPTION:From ancient games like Ur and chess to more recent examples like Monopoly\, games have always been passed down. Just as players have always been shaping\, defining\, and altering as they play. This essential culture has collided with copyright-capitalism in the 20th and 21st centuries\, but cannot be stopped as we see in the mod-scene and youth-driven development on platforms like Roblox.

DESCRIPTION:Making personal games is hard. But it's also scary. What if people hate it? It of course means\, they hate YOU. What if people love it? It means they have some sort of idea of what your art is about and can relate to it. But that doesn't mean they fully understand it as you intended.\n\nHow do I distance myself from my art if I've poured my heart and soul into it? How do I survive development if this is so important to me? How do I know it will ever be important to players? Is that even a good way to think of it?\nA thoughtful analysis of making personal art\, making commercial games\, and my own journey of 7 years developing Blueberry\, a game about intergenerational trauma.\n\nContent warning\nThe presentation will contain mentions of trauma\, family violence and suicide. It will also discuss other mental health challenges such as depression and anxiety.

DESCRIPTION:Alongside several union members from across Europe\, we want to discuss the recent cases of union-busting (or attempts thereof) and how cross-border collaboration can amplify union efforts. When Rockstar Games laid off a group of union organizers\, it was a signal of how the gaming industry responds to the increased efforts of organizing game developers world-wide. Similar moves in Canada\, France\, Germany\, Spain and the US have shown that the power-that-be of the games industry will not stand idly by while game developers finally find a voice.\n\nContent warning\n​Discussion of workplace harassment\, mental health challenges\, and labor rights in political contexts.

SUMMARY:Seeing the forest for the trees: How to think about workflows when designing tools
DESCRIPTION:When creating plugins\, publicly available tools\, or in-house one off fixes\, it can be easy to shoot for only exactly what the tool is supposed to achieve. However\, this can have unforeseen consequences when the tool achieves exactly what it needs on its own\, but does not fit within the other workflows that users are working with. The user experience as a whole is important to consider\, especially for publicly available tools.\nIn this workshop\, we will go over key things to know about when you are designing the user experience (UX) of workflows\, while keeping in mind the user interface (UI) of their tools.\n\n//AUDIENCE::&nbsp\;People who want to upgrade their workflow skills: How do you know what works well for you\, and then how do you put into words how to build that?\n//REQUIREMENTS::&nbsp\;Some game development experience\, such as having tried to make something in Unity\, Unreal\, or Godot.\n//BRING::&nbsp\;Something to write things down in. Could be a laptop\, a phone\, or pen & paper. \n\nFor this workshop online registration is not required to attend. The spots will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis\, so make sure to be at the workshop location at least 10 minutes before the starting time.

SUMMARY:Dig\, Bite\, Bake\, Decapitate ~ Turn Folklore into Play
DESCRIPTION:How do you turn real stories into game mechanics? The workshop begins with a short VR glimpse (approx. 5 min.) into the Real Vampires universe\, where day turns to night and roles shift. From there\, participants move into hands-on creation using collage. You will build small levels based on real historical beliefs: coffins opening at night\, animals behaving strangely\, rituals meant to control the dead. Through prototyping\, participants explore reversal\, transformation and absurd logic as design tools. The workshop shows how mechanics can grow directly out of lived stories — and how play activates history in the hands of the player.\n\n&nbsp\;//AUDIENCE::&nbsp\;Game designers\, artists\, students and curious minds\n//REQUIREMENTS::&nbsp\;No specific skills required \n//BRING::&nbsp\;Optional: bring a strange story from your family or local area about real vampires\, real witches\, real ghosts\, or?\n//SENSITIVE TOPICS::&nbsp\;Includes references to brutal death rituals\, burial practices\, nudity and historical fears related to disease. Presented in a non-graphic and contextualized way\n\nFor this workshop online registration is not required to attend. The spots will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis\, so make sure to be at the workshop location at least 10 minutes before the starting time.

SUMMARY:The Seventh Extinction: On the Disappearance of Independent Festival Space
DESCRIPTION:This talk frames the progressive dissolution of independent games festivals as a form of cultural extinction\, and calls for urgent action to preserve a fragile ecosystem. It compares these festivals to exhausted fireflies\, tracing their final journey before they are obliterated against the sterilised windscreen of an industry governed by market repetition and algorithmic visibility. Through an examination of the siloing of games journalism and the narrowing of platform discoverability\, the session makes a case for the niche\, the suboptimal\, and the experimental. It concludes with a set of actionable steps for anyone who wants to nurture a firefly\, and dodge the windscreen.

SUMMARY:With Love From Kenya: Connecting My Culture to Games
DESCRIPTION:What do you do when you don't see yourself\, or the people around you represented in games? You make them anyway.\n\nWith Love From Kenya presents Joanna Oluoch's exploration of how to representing her culture through games in a still-developing games industry.\n\nShe draws from two of her projects: ARGO and Nyam3.\nARGO is an augmented reality game based on her childhood home in a forest\, designed with accessibility in mind and built to run on low-end smartphones\, prioritising a Kenyan audience first. Nyam3 was developed during the Playful Obscura residency under Games Connect Africa\, and reimagines a traditional Kenyan children's game through Kinect motion capture\, connected through the principle of using your body as a controller. Both games are love letters to her experiences expressed through play and interaction\, founded in her practice as a game designer under Sike Studios.\n\nShe reflects on cross-cultural exchange\, making games as accessible public art\, and her learnings so far as an African game developer.\n\nPlease bring your questions and your competitive spirit.

SUMMARY:Samples - An Interactive Music Installation
DESCRIPTION:SAMPLES is the new interactive music installation by My name is Fuzzy. It transforms the exhibition space into a giant music creation software. The project explores a form of “analog” augmented reality\, meaning without a visible digital interface. The installation consists of about ten large-format\, brightly colored canvases\, each representing a sound sample that activates and modulates according to the movements of people in the space. Beyond offering an immersive and collective experience\, the installation questions the influence the public exerts on an artist's work: here\, the artwork is only revealed through the presence of visitors\, and it constantly evolves according to their interaction. After gaining recognition for his unique style and playful installations in numerous art venues and festivals in Switzerland and Europe\, Bastien Bron continues his artistic approach with SAMPLES: offering pop and electronic music in innovative\, hybrid\, and singular forms.\n\nhttps://www.mynameisfuzzy.ch/samples/

SUMMARY:Indie Games on the Platform: Building Audiences and Crowdfunding Creative Work
DESCRIPTION:Indie games are known for their intriguing themes\, experimental gameplay\, unique aesthetic identity and\, more often than not\, their hybrid nature—blending physical objects with digital elements. Moving from early prototypes and festival showcases to a fully developed game comes with a series of important and sometimes tricky\, decisions.\nHow do you build a community around your work? Where do you find financial support? And how do you test whether your core idea actually holds up? These are some of the challenges we’ll tackle together. In this workshop\, we’ll share strategies\, look at good practices\, explore platform features that can work in your favour\, and dig into a few Kickstarter campaigns that are worth a closer look.\n\n//AUDIENCE::&nbsp\;People interested in crowdfunding\, publishing their game and/or building their community \n//REQUIREMENTS::&nbsp\;Interest \n//BRING::&nbsp\;Something to take notes on if you want to. \n\nFor this workshop online registration is not required to attend. The spots will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis\, so make sure to be at the workshop location at least 10 minutes before the starting time.\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Expanding OTHERWORLDS
DESCRIPTION:Expanding OTHERWORLDS is a talk on a completed multi-user XR performance that bridges Ukrainian seasonal rituals with immersive technology. The project synchronises participants across virtual and physical layers\, where VR environments\, spatial sound\, choreography\, and scenography directly correspond\, creating a communal experience rather than an isolated one. \n\nIn this session\, Sophia Bulgakova reflects on building this correlation between digital and embodied space and what it reveals about designing collective presence in immersive art. She will also discuss how this research is now extending into her ongoing Malanka continuation\, which carries the same inquiry into a new ritual cycle.

SUMMARY:Open Screens: Crimson Rain
DESCRIPTION:Crimson Rain is an experimental and stylized noir-detective style puzzle narrative game\, where every character in the scene is mute\, lacks facial expressions\, looks identical\, and is entirely ambiguous in terms of race\, gender identity\, class\, sexuality\, and any other distinguishing features. This is a means to address the rampant stereotyping and aesthetic bias that is rooted in classic detective fiction\, as well as the motivated reasoning that is at the root of the perpetuation of hatred and bigotry. By attempting to create an environment for players where that form of internal/motivated bias is impossible\, the player has no room for motivated reasoning\, and instead has to extract their own truth from a blank canvas. Players are tasked to deduce the game’s narrative solely through the characters’ actions\, through the manipulation of time on individual characters’ timelines of events. To solve the game\, &nbsp\;players must observe every characters’ timeline\, and place them all in chronological order through thoughtful analysis and observation\, with the goal of uncovering\, and subsequently erasing\, the tragedy that occurred amongst the events they witnessed. &nbsp\;This prototype is an exhibition piece\, played with an custom-made alternative controller\, in the shape of a pocket watch\, and physical board-game components to aid players with ideation and deduction.&nbsp\;

DESCRIPTION:Sen z úst is a visual novel-like video game set in a twisted world full of dreams and those who dream them. It contains a reasonable amount of lines and one or two things to think about. The prototype was created as a product of scribbling\, writing\, crossing out\, talking\, and getting hands dirty with modeling clay at a game jam. Since then\, we have poured more than a little time\, energy\, and passion into it.

Born from the friction of working with a medium that constantly pushes toward reward loops\, player satisfaction\, and dopamine hits. This talk proposes counterfeit games as a framework: works that sit on the spectrum of playable experiences\, using the language of games while refusing to play by their rules\, and finding a creative practice in that refusal.

SUMMARY:Making games from scratch in Odin and understanding all the parts
DESCRIPTION:Explore alternative technologies for game creation! Using the Odin Programming Language and my library "Karl2D" we will see how you can create a game "from scratch" without a big game engine. We'll open windows\, draw things\, process input and play some audio. After that we'll look at how the Karl2D library actually implements all those things. You'll get a tour that starts in the gameplay code\, all the way down to the operating system APIs. In essence: You get to see a new programming language and we'll demystify what the often "hidden parts" of a game engine actually do. Even though we use a specific language and library\, the knowledge you get is transferable: You can do similar things yourself in other languages. \n\n//AUDIENCE::&nbsp\;Those who want to make games from scratch and understand their game on a deep level. Some participants may want to see what Odin is about. Some may want to get more knowledge about what happens in a "game creation library" / engine. It's all good.\n //REQUIREMENTS:: A bit of programming experience.\n//BRING::&nbsp\;Bring a laptop (Windows\, Mac and Linux are all OK). We'll set up Odin during the workshop\, but you can install it yourself from&nbsp\;https://odin-lang.org/ if you want to come extra prepared. \n\nFor this workshop online registration is not required to attend. The spots will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis\, so make sure to be at the workshop location at least 10 minutes before the starting time.

SUMMARY:Gamerausch x A MAZE. : Relooted - Live cinegaming session
DESCRIPTION:Satellite event at external location with regular admission and free entry with A MAZE. / Berlin ticket. \n\nGAMERAUSCH - RELOOTED (Live cinegaming session with introduction by David Zabel (Popcultural Educator\, Germany) and Q&A with Ben Myers (Nyamakop\, South Africa) supported by Alexandre Suzanne (Playful\, France)\nRELOOTED (South Africa 2026\, Nyamakop\, approx. 120 min\, original language with subtitles) \n\nIn recent years\, there have been increasing efforts to return artifacts stolen during colonial times. Yet Western museums and private collections continue to exploit loopholes to retain these treasures. Rather than wait for justice\, in the game RELOOTED\, a pan-African group of friends decides to take matters into their own hands: they simply steal the artifacts back. RELOOTED is a platformer by South African studio Nyamakop. We play as Nomali and her crew as they execute elaborate heists in museums and private collections. What makes the game special: the studio has researched with great documentary care the real histories\, cultural significance\, and circumstances of theft for all objects featured in the game. Rarely has the complex issue of restitution been so successfully integrated into a video game. At the same time\, the studio has invested tremendous care into the soundtrack\, voice acting\, and Afrofuturist aesthetic. RELOOTED is full of empowerment and ultimately poses the question: What if someone simply took back what was stolen? \n\nAs part of A MAZE / BERLIN\, we'll play selected passages of the game together on the big screen. Guests will provide insights into the production history and contextualize the themes explored in the game

SUMMARY:Sybil x A MAZE. : a third way to game-dev
DESCRIPTION:Note: This is a satellite event at an external location. Register here.\n\nThroughout Sybil’s Arc 2 program we have proposed the idea that the solo-dev - a &nbsp\;post-2000s neologism with roots in 1980s conceptions of computer programmers as savant whizz-kids and enlightened loners - could be emblematic of a third way in gaming: A different strategy for the game-maker that replaces hierarchical AAA studio assembly lines with small teams and more aesthetically oriented working methods.\n\nWhat the myth of the solo-dev borrows from the traditional framework of “the artist” is the pursuit of self-determination. That is\, a drive that is tied to a particular expression of an idea or a question in a practice\, and this is what sets it apart from more commercially traditional strategies pertaining to both AAA and Indie-development.&nbsp\;Part of this\, is also understanding that the game industry is no-longer as off-limits to art driven developers and small scale teams as it once might have felt.\n\nPanelists are: Alex Declino\, Beth von Undall\, Elliott Burns\, Rico Norwood and Shuruq Tramontini.\n\nNo extra costs\, but limited seats. Please register here.&nbsp\;\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Level Design Beyond the Screen
DESCRIPTION:An approach to level design that goes beyond the computer screen.\n\nUsing modular 6×6 elements\, participants build structures\, test layouts\, and explore non-standard ways of thinking about level design. We see the workshop as a shared experiment in alternative ways of approaching level design and building levels.\n\nEach session lasts around 20 minutes\, and can be done by 2 people.&nbsp\;\n\nThe station also works outside workshop hours\, simple instructions allow visitors to use it independently.\n\n//AUDIENCE:: Game designers\, artists\, and anyone interested in spatial thinking\, level design\, and experimental approaches to game development.\n//REQUIREMENTS:: None\n//BRING:: Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment :)\n\n For this workshop online registration is&nbsp\;not&nbsp\;required to attend. Just come by.&nbsp\;\n\n

SUMMARY:Real Vampires Concert (world premiere)
DESCRIPTION:Are you folk or vampire?\nA live concert by electronic composer Bjørn Svin. Based on his music for the game&nbsp\;Real Vampires&nbsp\;and 500 years of authentic accounts of vampirism\, the work unfolds as an immersive musical and visual narrative\, drawing on the game’s elements and reshaping them into a new sonic experience.\nThe music moves between day and night\, carrying shifts in mood\, tension and perspective. The audience is invited into selected moments\, entering the&nbsp\;Real Vampires&nbsp\;universe through simple\, shared choices.\nA first public showing of an evolving format where music\, story and play meet.\nHistory is moving!\n\nContent warning\n​Real Vampires concert contains depictions of historical burial rituals\, including exhumation of bodies\, decapitation\, and references to disease and death. Some scenes include exposed male genitalia derived from old medical illustrations and historical sources connected to burial practice. All visuals are presented in a stylized\, cartoony cut-out aesthetic rather than graphic realism.\n\nReal Vampires addresses themes of moral panic\, social exclusion\, and collective violence in historical contexts. While the tone includes dark humor\, the subject matter may be sensitive for players affected by themes of death\, persecution\, nudity\, or ritual violence.

SUMMARY:labRats
DESCRIPTION:Limited number of Player Tickets&nbsp\;available (see below for more info).\n\nDespite all your rage\, you are still just a rat in a cage. Luckily\, you're also a rat who's been outfitted with a neural implant that allows you to communicate telepathically with the other rats in your cage. Maybe that'll help.\n\nlabRats is a digitally native interactive performance by the award-winning duo cirqueSaw. Pulling equally from classic games\, silent films\, and a generous helping of Lewis Carroll\, the piece seeks to blur the line between reality and unreality\, between wonder and horror. Audiences play as lab rats in an experiment beyond their control\, who have to work together to take control of their lives. Whether they choose to escape\, take over the lab\, or deconstruct the fabric of the reality of their experience itself is entirely up to them.\n\nThere are two ways of experiencing this performance:\n- As a player: please get your Player Ticket (limited number) from the ticket shop (only with valid festival ticket or pass):&nbsp\;https://weeztix.shop/gteqvq9r\n- As a viewer: just come to the Kuppelhalle!\n\nNote: that Player Tickets are limited\, so please only take one when you are dedicated to join\, including bringing your own laptop or tablet with keyboard\n\nThere are two labRats performance dates:\nThursday 14 May: 20:00-21:30\nSaturday 16 May: 12:00-13:30&nbsp\;

SUMMARY:Why Computer Games are Puppet Shows
DESCRIPTION:Puppet shows are one of the oldest forms of entertainment and computer games are among the newest\, but they have much in common!\n\nRunning a puppet show? Put up a booth and ready your puppets\, your props and your backcloths. You have a story in mind\, maybe even a script\, and you play it. Making any kind of game with characters? Make your character assets\, your props\, your backgrounds. You’ve created a world. There may be narrative and pieces of script\, but you set the player off with their puppet and tell them: have fun with it.\n\nIf you ever play with your toys and send them on adventures you’re playing a game and you’re giving yourself a puppet show. (And if you never send toys on adventures\, you’re missing a treat!)\n\nContent warning\nA brief mention of mortality\, but nothing grizzly or shocking.

Come and explore the weird\, the heartfelt\, and the whimsy :)\n\n(No LLM usage or Gen AI in this workshop)\n\n//AUDIENCE:: Open to folks with any level of writing expertise (No Gen AI) \n//REQUIREMENTS::&nbsp\;Just an interest in writing (No Gen AI)\n//BRING::&nbsp\;Laptop or pen & paper\n//SENSITIVE TOPICS:: Participants may explore personal topics\, but the workshop itself is not centered around sensitive topics. \n\n For this workshop online registration is&nbsp\;not&nbsp\;required to attend.

DESCRIPTION:This panel will assemble game developers crafting digital games with art made from physical objects. In a medium so centered on technological developments and frame rates\, what exactly is the value in making so many small detailed physical objects? How do we handle these handmade objects once they are in these digital worlds? This panel will explore both the logistics and the love of this method of game creation.

Last week i turned 32. i spent nearly my entire twenties working on same project\, and for the next 20 minutes i will share the most valuable lessons i learned along the way. \n\nthis talk will NOT cover technical details. instead\, it will focus on the wisdom i accumulated while painfully making this semi-autobiographical role-playing game about my life in high school. \n\nif you're an indie developer who has already sold a million copies of your video game: congratulations. you probably do not need to listen to my advice.&nbsp\;\n\nContent Warning\nsubstance abuse\, mental health challenges

SUMMARY:Make your game look unique
DESCRIPTION:With the democratization of game engines\, it's now possible for a solo developer to make a game with the same visual fidelity as what only AAA studios made twenty years ago\, but these breakthrough in rendering technologies pushes games to have the same mainstream aesthetic. In this workshop we'll deconstruct this so-called "Unreal Engine look"\, firstly by understanding how Unreal Engine renders a 3D scene\, then deep dive into how make shaders and tweak inner workings to make post processing effects like dithering\, cell shading\, and even more obscure techniques like datamoshing and hall of mirrors. \n\n//AUDIENCE::&nbsp\;Students and professionals looking to push further the art of their games and CGI\n//REQUIREMENTS::&nbsp\;Familiarity with Unreal Engine and 3D concepts is welcome\, but not required\, as everything will be reintroduced.\n//BRING::&nbsp\;A reasonably performant (RTX1080 or equivalent) laptop\, or a parsec (or equivalent) connexion to one\nUnreal Engine installed (NOT just the epic games launcher\, make sure you install one version of unreal afterward)\, version 5.7 if possible. (https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/download)\n\nFor this workshop online registration is not required to attend. The spots will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis\, so make sure to be at the workshop location at least 10 minutes before the starting time.

SUMMARY:Experiential Game Design
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Farfama explores games as experiential art: evocative spaces of atmosphere\, awe\, and emotional resonance that bring the player's conscious and unconscious experience to the surface. His games city::ephemera and ocean::ephemera will be examined alongside other games\, artists\, art forms\, and experiences where meaning comes not from explanation\, but individual perception.

SUMMARY:Your Body Is the Controller: Designing Physical Play through How To Pet Your Cat and InSync XR
DESCRIPTION:Most controllers are designed to disappear. These ones are designed to be touched\, watched\, and cared for.\nIn this talk\, Quinn Liu reflects on the making of How To Pet Your Cat and InSync XR — two physical-digital works that turn interaction into a tactile encounter between body and object. A giant plush cat becomes public comedy and a social magnet. A responsive animatronic creature in XR becomes something quieter: a presence that notices how you move\, and asks to be approached with care. Across these projects\, the talk explores how material\, sensors\, sound\, feedback\, and movement shape the way we read — and come to trust — machines that feel almost alive.

SUMMARY:Open Screens: ECTO-TERMINATOR 20000
DESCRIPTION:The Ecto-Terminator 20000 is a state-of-the-art ghost capturing machine that needs to be operated by two players. &nbsp\; One will be in the front and privy to the ghost’s location as well as able to press in the capture sequence\, while the other will be in the back\, unjamming the gun and able to see the necessary capture sequence and share it with the player upfront. &nbsp\; Taking a second-hand leaf-blower as a starting point\, the goal of the game was to make a cooperative and physical two-player experience. &nbsp\; The control is the game as there is no screen. The visuals including paint\, ectoplasm\, and LED lights add to make this an immersive experience. &nbsp\; Capturing ghost as the game fits harmoniously with not having screens\, as it allows players to interact directly with their surroundings and increases the player’s immersion. &nbsp\; &nbsp\;* results may vary depending on the pair operating the ECTO-TERMINATOR 20000

SUMMARY:Open Screens: NAMTAR
DESCRIPTION:Namtar unfolds in an alien purgatory—a world shaped from dreams—where rebirth is not salvation but an endless cycle of transformation\, decay\, and becoming. Set within a psychedelic\, color-saturated landscape that feels both grotesque and mesmerizing\, the game explores metamorphosis as a violent yet necessary force\, exposing the discomfort and vulnerability of change alongside the fragile beauty of nature in constant flux. Experience rebirth into a hand-drawn neon purgatory\, animated frame-by-frame\, that blends the grotesque designs of H. R Giger with the dreamlike visions of Moebius. The result is is an aesthetic distinct from its peers-Blasphemous\, Gris and Castelvania- that features surreal vibrant body horror as well as vivid alien landscapes. This vision is realized through a frame-by-frame animated action-adventure experience with bullet-hell elements\, born from visual experimentation across multiple graphics forms\; every character\, environment\, and effect is uniquely illustrated\, creating a tactile\, ever-shifting world where horror and elegance coexist through relentless motion and combat.

SUMMARY:CLIPPED HORIZON
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores Alice Bucknell’s work through the lens of clipping: the moment in a video game when the player slips through a wall or falls beyond the map. Often treated as a technical error\, clipping becomes a method for breaking open systems and exposing their ecological\, political\, and epistemic structures. Across video games such as The Alluvials (2024)\, Small Void (2025)\, Nihghtcrawlers (2025)\, and Earth Engine (2026)\, Bucknell uses gamespace as a site for speculative experimentation\, blurring boundaries between human and nonhuman\, natural and synthetic intelligence\, self and world. In this framework\, play offers an affective encounter with the world that’s grounded in total feeling rather than totalized knowledge.

Bureaucracy\, apathy\, ICE agents and a lack of understanding stand in your way. Discharged critiques the glamorized depiction of military combat presented in commercial videogames such as Call of Duty and criticizes the US military's use of videogames to recruit teens from low-income\, Latinx households.

SUMMARY:Open Screens: Learning the Ropes
DESCRIPTION:"Learning the Ropes" is a Visual Novel/Adventure game highlighting the mundane aspects of sex work: You assume the role of a new sex worker trying to learn the trade. Your biggest challenge: Identifying suitable clients based on their inquiries. Will you be able to distinguish a reliable client from a no-show? And a keyboard wanker from a white knight? Your day-to-day choices will have an impact on your earnings and ultimately decide whether you'll make it in this industry\, or not. &nbsp\;Based on a game jam project\, "Cash Please" is a title currently in early development. Please note that the itch.io page is not representative of the project we will showcase at A MAZE. &nbsp\;(This game does not contain graphic imagery\, only mildly erotic descriptions of kink practices as well as images hinting at interactions rather than showing them directly.)

SUMMARY:Samples - An Interactive Music Installation
DESCRIPTION:SAMPLES is the new interactive music installation by My name is Fuzzy. It transforms the exhibition space into a giant music creation software. The project explores a form of “analog” augmented reality\, meaning without a visible digital interface. The installation consists of about ten large-format\, brightly colored canvases\, each representing a sound sample that activates and modulates according to the movements of people in the space. Beyond offering an immersive and collective experience\, the installation questions the influence the public exerts on an artist's work: here\, the artwork is only revealed through the presence of visitors\, and it constantly evolves according to their interaction. After gaining recognition for his unique style and playful installations in numerous art venues and festivals in Switzerland and Europe\, Bastien Bron continues his artistic approach with SAMPLES: offering pop and electronic music in innovative\, hybrid\, and singular forms.\n\nhttps://www.mynameisfuzzy.ch/samples/

SUMMARY:labRats
DESCRIPTION:Limited number of Player Tickets available (See below for more info)\n\nDespite all your rage\, you are still just a rat in a cage. Luckily\, you're also a rat who's been outfitted with a neural implant that allows you to communicate telepathically with the other rats in your cage. Maybe that'll help.\n\nlabRats is a digitally native interactive performance by the award-winning duo cirqueSaw. Pulling equally from classic games\, silent films\, and a generous helping of Lewis Carroll\, the piece seeks to blur the line between reality and unreality\, between wonder and horror. Audiences play as lab rats in an experiment beyond their control\, who have to work together to take control of their lives. Whether they choose to escape\, take over the lab\, or deconstruct the fabric of the reality of their experience itself is entirely up to them.\n\nThere are two ways of experiencing this performance:\n- As a player: please get your Player Ticket (limited amount) from the ticket shop (only with valid festival ticket or pass):&nbsp\;https://weeztix.shop/gteqvq9r\n- As a viewer: just come to the Kuppelhalle!\n\nNote: that Player Tickets are limited\, so please only take one when you are dedicated to join\, including bringing your own laptop or tablet with keyboard\n\nThere are two labRats performance dates:\nThursday 14 May: 20:00-21:30\nSaturday 16 May: 12:00-13:30

SUMMARY:IMPROVE YOUR IMPROV: The Theater Stage as an Analog Sandbox
DESCRIPTION:Just like in an open-world game\, there is no fixed script in improv theater. The workshop space is the map where anything is possible. Instead of telling a pre-written story\, we use mechanics like the "Yes\, and..." principle or specific game rules. We treat improv as a system of mechanics that allows for emergent narratives.\n\nMindset\nIn our analog sandbox\, there is no "Game Over" – no failure\, only feedback. If an idea doesn't work\, it’s simply reshaped. This removes the pressure\, boosts creativity\, and clears the mind for new impulses. Your hardware here isn't a CPU or a graphics card\; it’s your body\, your voice\, and your fellow players.\n\nSkill Upgrade\nDo you want to present your game but suffer from stage fright? Are you wondering how to dissolve blocks within a team or develop gripping narratives on the fly? Improv theater is an amazing tool for practicing collaborative storytelling\, overcoming blocks\, and building stage presence for your next game pitch.\n\nAbout Us and Our Workshops\nIn this workshop by Improfabrik e.V.\, a non-profit theater club from Berlin\, you will learn the core principles of improvisation as genuine power-ups for your personal\, professional\, and artistic development. We place great value on an accessible and appreciative environment.Every workshop begins with a short round of introductions\, including pronouns and a clarification of „comfort zones“\, to ensure everyone feels safe. After a quick warm-up for body\, voice\, and mind\, we dive briefly into the theory.\n\nOur focus is "Theory through Practice": You will learn fundamental principles like "Yes\, and..." and apply them immediately in short games for improv-scenes. Whether you’re looking for story inspiration or simply want to train your spontaneity\, this is a place to laugh\, experiment\, and grow together.\n\nClear the stage and curtain up in 3-2-1-Whoosh!\n\n//AUDIENCE:: Festival participants looking to improve their lateral thinking skills\, spontaneity and openness for other people's ideas in the creative process.\n//REQUIREMENTS::&nbsp\;A willingness to think and act spontaneously and be creative in the moment.\n//BRING:: No special tools required.\n//SENSITIVE TOPICS::&nbsp\;The workshop does not directly address any sensitive topics as per the code of conduct. However\, spontaneous creativity always holds a small chance that internalized stereotypes or social injustices may be brought to the performance unintentionally. In those cases we will discuss them with all of the workshop participants and show ways in which they can be avoided in the future.\nWe will strive to foster an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere from the start in which everyone will hopefully have a great time.\n\n For this workshop online registration is&nbsp\;not&nbsp\;required to attend. The spots will be assigned on a first-come first-served basis\, so make sure to be at the workshop location at least 10 minutes before the starting time.\n\n

SUMMARY:It’s Time to Make a Choice - A performance by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley
DESCRIPTION:In an interactive sci-fi role-playing game\, the audience’s decisions become the driving force behind the performance. Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, together with two musicians\, creates a live story that is guided by the emotions\, voices and presence in the room.\n\nThe audience as part of a science fiction story: in the world of “It’s Time To Make a Choice”\, the weather is controlled by people’s emotions. Guided by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, the audience determines the fictional weather conditions through singing and joint interactions. This playfully creates an evening that is different every time. Together with musicians Lucy Liebe and Waveovspace\, a musical and improvised role-playing performance is created\, guided by the fears\, worries\, dreams and ideas of love of the players.\n\nWith “It’s Time To Make a Choice\,” HAU is represented for the third time at A MAZE. / Berlin\, the international festival and platform for independent and arthouse games\, which will celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2026. The event is co-curated with the Körber Foundation’s eCommemoration programme.
