SFMOMA’s Art Game Laboratory: Real-Life Mad Science Experiments in Visitor Engagement. Erica Gangsei, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, USA www.sfmoma.org/artgamelab Abstract ArtGameLab is an interactive exhibition of crowd-sourced game prototypes that opened at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on January 15, 2012.
The exhibition engages the museum’s community to invent games that test out new ways of experiencing the museum, and is populated by five responses to an open call for game designs. The exhibition also provides ongoing opportunities for continued community dialogue about games—through online channels, onsite visitor feedback mechanisms, and live programming focused on games. The mini-workshop connected with this paper will provide hands-on opportunities to play the five games that are part of ArtGameLab.

Producing games Super Going Money. SFMOMA Gets Its Game On with ArtGameLab. From the museum that brought visitors the very first interactive multimedia gallery tour back in 2001 comes a new way to explore modern and contemporary art.
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) presents ArtGameLab, an ongoing exhibition in the museum’s Koret Visitor Education Center that presents a selection of prototype crowdsourced games designed by SFMOMA’s community, for SFMOMA’s community. Last summer SFMOMA issued an open call for simple games devised to be played inside the museum for audiences of all ages.
Visitors can now view the results and pick up instructions for playing five of the 50 game proposals that artists and game designers submitted, along with a series of digital games designed by the museum’s education department. The exhibition is organized by Erica Gangsei, manager of interpretive media at SFMOMA. Extending that legacy of innovation, ArtGameLab presents the following games and game designers: The Curious Scholarship of Dr. Super Going Didactic Mad Libs.

At the moment, Facebook has over 100 million mobile users, a number that is growing with the second. As a part of the official post-MW2010 programme, Paul Stork and I hosted an unconference session about mobile games and museums. These are my notes, please add your thoughts and opinions through the comments. What is mobile gaming? Both Foursquare and Gowalla work alike. In addition to that, people can leave “tips” at a venue.
