Interviews

An interview is one of the newest type of text at our wiki. Here is a list of completed articles:

• Carl Bergstrøm-Nielsen interview
• Jeffrey Agrell interview
• Aske Zidore interview

Some might be in progress:

• James Saunders interview - phase 0 (on hold)
• Maya Felixbrodt interview - phase 2
• Christian Pacaud interview - phase 2

The number of interviews will grow, and you can join that group if you wish. G4M's Mastodon account is a significant part of the process.

The process

Interviewing is split into two phases (these are not "actual conversations"). The first phase presents the willing responder a set of eight, general and open-ended questions. They are treated as independent from one another and the final order may depend on later editorial decisions.

Above we mark interviews with numbers of this meaning:

• phase 0 — the interviewee agreed to give an interview and received the first set of questions,
• phase 1 — we have answers to the first set of questions and now follow-ups are gathered (possibly also from YOU, consider adding),
• phase 2 — the interviewee received the follow-up questions, and we wait for the responses to publish them and finalize the interview.

+ show questions

Can you tell a bit about your background that is relevant to your practice? Does past education is important for what you do now?

How do you approach the relation between theory and practice in art? Any book or article recommendations?

How would you describe your field and artistic context? Do you accept labels like ‘experimental’ or ‘avant-garde’?

Do you have a favourite game? Or a game genre/mechanic?

What music do you enjoy? Is there a difference between what you perform and what you listen to? Any guilty pleasures?

Please, tell us a few words about your most recent project. How long did it take, and how many people were involved?

What do you value most in collaboration? Do you work with amateur artists, or do you prefer professionals?

Do you see something missing from the current landscape of music/game intersection? Or something you'd like to see more of?

After the questions from the first phase are answered, the results are published, and it's a start of gathering new, more specific questions, from our Fediverse surroundings (Mastodon and similar integrated platforms). In case there are too many questions, voting should occur, to establish a suitable set of eight follow-ups.

The process ends with the publication of all answers.

Wiki technicalities

The interviews are a type of article not intended for public contribution. You need a "moderator" status to edit them, as with others in the "source" category, listed in the general reading hub.
