Acadia professor Dr. Jon Saklofske notes that the construction of game experiences allows us to become conscious of, redesign, and even symbolically re-present systems of human interaction and social/political/economic experience. This research method allows us to experiment with, investigate, and tweak possibilities — like a humanities lab space — to potentially reconstitute/recontextualize existing systems in illuminating ways, and/or prototype and model other possibilities.
