What role do videogames play in our lives today? As the boundaries between the
virtual and the real blur more and more in the new gaming worlds we have come
to inhabit, new conditions arise. Videogames encompass ideas, narratives,
points of view and ideologies. They form images, they develop new aesthetics
and offer new ways of understanding. Videogames express and reflect todayÕs
world Ð they are a part of it. New identities appear, new roles are defined,
new mentalities are being born. With the theme Gaming Realities medi {AT} terra
06 aims to explore the different dimensions and developments in the gaming
fields and the impact they have on the different fields of society today. This
yearÕs programme features the following activities and events:
