TITLE: Foundations

Design x Technology Series: Eric Zimmerman

November 6th, 2025

Join CoAD for our next important Design x Technology Series featuring game designer & Arts Professor, NYU Game Center Eric Zimmerman.  His talk titled, Playing with Systems will explore important fundamental design questions relevant to most design fields. This conversational discussion with LTU Director of Game Design and Assistant Professor Ahu Yolaç will provide our guests with a thoughtfully guided interview. 

Games have a special relationship to systems thinking. Every game is an opportunity to push and pull at the affordances of a system, exploring how the system works and how it can be played. While every form of culture (every image, every story, every song) is a system, games – as dynamic participatory experiences – are particularly systemic. And they have been engaging our species for thousands of years.
