The international workshop will be held in context of the DFG funded research project “Open-WorldStructures: Architecture, City- and Landscape in Computer Games” (Marc Bonner 2017-2020) and addresses the matter of (1) architecture in game worlds in the sense of its media specific spatialization, architectural layouts and the role of architecture, as well as (2) the architecture of computer games themselves in the sense of systematics, structures and media specific logics between algorithms and databases – worldbuilding from a different angle.Thus, the participants will thematise aesthetics of reception as well as aesthetics of production and approach the complex constitution of computer games from a wide range of disciplines – from Media and Game Studies to Art History, Sound Studies to Architecture, Design to Phenomenology and Embodiment, as well as Spatial Theory and Cultural Studies. The aim of the workshop is to channel multi-disciplinary approaches and current research projects to fuel an interest towards an understanding of computer games as spatial, architectural or world phenomena within the current digital media culture. Furthermore, it is to explore and discuss concepts and methodologies from other disciplines and the potential transfer as useful tools in Game Studies.18.03.201910:45 a.m. Distant Agricultural Splendor:  National Identity, Agricultural Labor, andSpace in Farming Simulator Derek Price Vanderbuilt University/University of Cologne11:05 a.m Taking a Breath of the Wild – Paidiatic Spaces and Practices Off the Ludic GridCornelia Janina Schnaars [University of Bayreuth]11:25 a.m. Feels Right – How Atmospheres of the Past Satisfy Expectations of AuthenticityFelix Zimmermann [University of Cologne]11:45 a.m. Coffee Break12:00 p.m. Virtual Space and Video Game Photography: Towards a Socio-Political Reading of In-Game PhotographyVladimir Rizov [University of Suffolk]12:20 p.m. The World Machine: Self-Reflexive Worldmaking in OneShotTheresa Krampe [Justus-Liebig University Gießen]12:40 p.m. Towards an Operationalized Definition of Procedural RepresentationMichal Švarný [Charles University Prague]1:00 p.m. Registration/Lunch1:30 p.m. Welcoming Speech/IntroductionMarc Bonner [University of Cologne]2:00 p.m. Protean Spaces.
