Games and Worldmaking by Damjan Jovanovic explores the connections between cybernetics, system thinking, simulation. Through his work, Jovanovic delves into the intertwined histories of these fields and offers insights into how they can be seen through the lens of Nelson Goodman’s worldmaking concept.
His work presented here, a terraforming simulation game, Planet Garden, emerged as a collaborative endeavor during SCI-Arc’s Games & Worldmaking seminar in conjunction with the Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time Exhibition, as part of the broader Planet City research project.
