IGDA Meeting in the Wild West

The Wild West - to be taken seriously.
Last week on an icy Tuesday afternoon, a few brave TAMK students journeyed to Helsinki in order to meet the Finnish Game Industry.
IGDA (International Game Developers Association) is an organisation of mainly people working for game companies which has monthly meetings, usually taking place in the Cuba bar in Helsinki. This time was especially interesting, since the whole event was a Wild-West-themed, due to a release party of Digital Chocolates’ new game “Gangs of Boomtown”.

You have to come to experience it yourself.
The exhibition is open at Spede, 2nd floor daytime still next week.
The modest photos I took with my toy camera just give a foggy idea of the show.

During one week of cutting and lifting ice blocks from a frozen lake in Lapland and assembling them to huge-sized custom-shaped ice screens which are being projected on, students are given the opportunity not only to work with ice in terms of large-scale sculpturing but also to explore new ways and possibilities
