Games designer Gaz Bushell and Biochemist Jody Mason will be introducing their extraordinary new game, Cascade, which recently took home the coveted UK Game of the Show title at this year’s Gamescom in Cologne. Cascade is a game set in a brain under the siege of Alzheimer’s disease. Moving between brain cells you have the power to stabilize them against this onslaught. The environment and gameplay are based on compelling research to suggest that certain therapeutic interventions at a biomolecular level can have a powerful effect against the disease.

This Lunchtime Talk is part of Open Studio Friday, which takes place at the Studio every week.

Do you want to find out what is going on at the Pervasive Media Studio? Are you interested in meeting our residents, talking about a specific project or curious about pervasive media? Why not pack a sandwich and join us for one of our Lunchtime Talks and Open Studio Friday.

Lunchtime Talks are informal presentations by Studio residents and associates. They normally take place at 1pm on Friday, are free and open to everybody who’s interested in what we do.

After the Talk, we also invite you to stay with us for the afternoon to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. We provide chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Our open afternoons close at 5pm.

Let us know if you’d like a tour of the space and we'll be happy to show you around. Send an email to admin@pmstudio.co.uk
