Modernity wasn't replaced by postmodernity. We're still in #modernity and context matters.

Presented at Super #magfest 2026 on Saturday, exploring #modernity and metacontextualism in videogames and game design.

What’s after Post-Modernism? Perhaps “Metacontextualism.” This is a movement of art and design, unique in and catalyzed by the existence of videogames. Remember that videogames are a literally new form of art. They were invented in the lifespan of people who are attending MAGFest today.

Panelists: Rym DeCoster [Producer of GeekNights, frontrowcrew.com] Emily Compton [Art Director, 3D Artist]
