Was steht bei der Entwicklung eines Spiels am Anfang des Prozesses - die Technologie oder die Idee? Wie verändert die Technologie die Ideen und beeinflussen umgekehrt die Ideen auch die Technologien? Was bedeutet es, die Realität zu erweitern? Und wie können ernste Themen wie die Klimakrise in einem Spielkontext behandelt werden?

Über diese und andere Fragen diskutieren Christian Knapp und Sophia Reiterer in dieser Folge von The Art Wire.
