30 – Jeremy Douglass: Imposter Syndrome

Jeremy Douglass is a gifted instrumentalist, producer and composer that follows his own musical bliss into some fascinating projects.  Whether writing a piano concerto for American Stage Theatre company, writing songs on the spot with his musical improv group, or wowing audiences with his musical all-star group, the Florida Bjorkestra, Jeremy is pushing the norms in search of the bliss he gets from performing with truly great musicians.   Jeremy even had fun re-writing our theme song, re-writing it in various stylings after hearing just a single line of it. Running any tune through the musical style blender that is Jeremy Douglass’ brain always turns out a better version than the one that went in.  He’s curious, inventive, and always thirsty for shiny new musical ideas. One of the most intensely creative artists we’ve had on the show to-date, Jeremy is ultimately about erasing barriers—barriers between musical styles, between musicians, between performer and audience…any barriers that limit our conceptions about what music should be.  Any project that he lends his generous talents to is immediately elevated by Jeremy's Midas touch…and this episode was no different. We hope you enjoy our friend, Jeremy Douglass.

Visualizing games and gameplay reveals both startling complexity…and stunning simplicity. This talk discusses many applications of information visualization to games: for theory, historical research, design, development, and creative art practice. Considering examples from across decades of video games (from blockbusters to art house experiments) reveals that most games are already information visualizations of a few particular kinds, and can be further transformed in ways that reveal the original through new eyes, suggesting new forms of play.Jeremy Douglass is a researcher in games and playable media, electronic literature, and the art and science of data mining and information visualization. He is active in the Software Studies and Critical Code Studies research communities, which study software society and the cultural meaning of computer source code. Douglass is a founding member of Playpower, a MacArthur/HASTAC funded digital media and learning initiative to use ultra-affordable 8-bit game systems as a global education platform, and a participant in an NSF grant exploring creative user behavior in virtual worlds. His recording room for gameplay research includes systems spanning over three decades. The Atari 2600 has wood veneer; the PS3 does not.
