Course Video & Notes

Class 3 – 9/26/18; “John Milton Plays Grand Prix Legends”

By Jon Festinger on September 27, 2018

Slides and video from class below. Be forewarned that there are still some minor video outages here and there that the tech are trying to figure out. Those are not particularly a big deal where there is video and the slides still remain viewable. That said by far the bigger problem is that the microphone ran out of batteries ten seconds after the one hour mark. So unless you are a lip-reader you will probably not want to venture past that point.

Class 2 – 9/12/18; “If Picasso had painted a round object…” + Ian Verchere

By Jon Festinger on September 12, 2018

Slides and video are below. There were a few scary moments where we thought the video had disappeared but it was found. Thanks to Tom Dudas for all his hard work on this. There is some missing video, but audio throughout – which is more important. Also for some reason I don’t understand Ian’s slides didn’t show up in the video, but are available below.

“Life As A Game: Legal Consequences of A.I. Individuated MEdia” @ More Than Just Game lV, April 5, 2018, London U.K.

By Jon Festinger on April 8, 2018

This past week I once again had the pleasure of giving a talk at fourth annual “More Than A Game ” conference in the U.K. As seems to always be the case, the ideas for the talk were germinated during this course, especially during our various collective musings about Artificial intelligence in video-games. Thanks are also due to the students in this spring’s just completed Communications Law course. So considerable thanks are in order. Here are video & slides from the presentation.

By Jon Festinger on January 3, 2018

Video and PowerPoints from the final class of the year below. We did not follow our usual sequencing, and you will have to turn your speakers way up for the last 2/3’s of the video – but there is sound.
