Bodies in Play: Inclusive Co-Creation for Wearable Technology and Virtual Reality is a two year feminist research-creation partnership between OCAD University’s game:play Lab and Social Body Lab, and DMG that brings together academic, cultural and community practitioners to co-create knowledge for more inclusive and innovative body-centric design practices in embodied interfaces. It will do this through a series of game jams and a residency program, bridging creative, technical and conceptual work in wearable technology and mixed reality (XR).

Bodies in Play will take place over a year, beginning with explorative workshops + jams in wearable technology and then in mixed reality. We will then use the second half of the program to run a less structures series of artist residencies + exhibitions of the work created throughout the program.
We acknowledge the difference in bodies and want to encourage a wide variety of them to participate in these game jams.
