We are conducting a multi-perspective and transdisciplinary research into the hitherto little-researched history of video games conceived and developed in Switzerland.

Together with 20 colleagues from #HKB, #ZHdK, #UniBE and #UNIL, we will regularly report on our findings and doings, as well as results of our @snsf_ch@social.anoxinon.de funded Sinergia research project.
