We've run several game jams this year through the #BristolDigitalGameLab. It all began, though, last November thanks to a fantastic and ongoing collaboration with @edcrking. Inspired by Ed's research, we ran a concept game jam on Exposing #AlgorithmicBias youtube.com/watch?v=rlytCs…

It is also the first stage of a current book project on intersections between video game cultures and racial capitalism in Brazil.

The article explores how video games can function as a critical platform from which to intervene into the conjunction between embodied experiences of racialisation and the production of race as a category within the cybernetic forms of identification of digital capitalism.

New article, 'Gaming Race in Brazil: Video Games and Algorithmic Racism', published today with the Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies (@j_lacs). tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
