August 28 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
John Borchert has always been interested in how art and technology connect to culture and morality. That’s reflected in his background as a faculty affiliate of religious studies, director of the Network for the Cultural Study of Videogaming, and director of the videogaming and esports studies program. As the Weatherspoon’s Benjamin Fellow, he’ll convene working groups with interdisciplinary faculty and museum staff who bring a range of vantage points to consider these questions with museum staff.
Borchert will lay some groundwork for this research and give an overview of UNCG’s exciting esports initiatives during a free event at the Weatherspoon. Hear him talk about “The Art of Gaming,” his previous work in art and technology, and what will come to Greensboro through UNCG and its partnerships in the art and media industry.
The event will be held Aug. 28, from 6 to 7 p.m., with a reception to follow until 7:30 p.m.
Free and open to the public
