Aska Mayer´s blog Somaplay – Reading the Experience of Play Through Players’ Body Expressions
Aska Mayer (M.A.) is a Doctoral Researcher at Tampere University, working on the exploration of human augmentation in/through/as games. Within the doctoral research project, the goal is to provide a holistic and systemic perspective on augmented human bodies through the combined application of Game Studies, Somaesthetics, and HCI, as well as locating the fictional and real body as a playground for experimental bio-technological modifications.
Game Research Lab is coordinating the Centre of Exellence in Game Culture Studies CoE (2018–2025), a consortium between Tampere University, University of Jyväskylä, and University of Turku. The CoE is funded by the Academy of Finland from the 2018–2025 program.
