The Notgames Fest is alternative games festival realized every two years by the Cologne Game Lab and was first held in 2011. The event is highly inspired by the NOTGAMES idea of Belgian interactive artists Tale of Tales and hosted by the Cologne Game Lab – Institute for Game Development and Research at the TH Koeln. In the context of this event an exhibition presents artistic digital games and opens room for reflexion and discussion. The second issue of the Notgames Fest was held from the 12th until 17th of August 2013. In the context of this midterm project the main focus was the presentation of the games. We worked on the concept for the exhibition space and finally built and supervised it.
Some of the first ideas and concepts. All ten participants had developed at least one or two concepts before we continued to narrow down the ideas.
