Mission
The mission of the Game Culture & Technology Lab is to play with how game metaphors, design principles, and technologies can be utilized for alternative content and context delivery. The focus is on the next generation Internet and beyond.The approach combines theory and practice, art and science, education and entertainment, to create an environment that supports diverse forms of expression in a wide range of applications.
The methods include sampling, misuse, hacking, appropriation, reverse engineering, and custom creation in the interest of open-source innovation and critical intervention.
The Game Lab is physically housed in the Art Culture and Technology building within the School of the Arts (SOTA), as well as in The California Institute for Telecommunication and Information Technology (Calit2).
Research and development activities are conducted in both the SOTA and Calit2 facilities. SOTA consists of heavily equipped industrial style space (16 foot ceilings, concrete floors, projectors whiteboards, workstations); Calit2 provides an additional 8 special project rooms and 2 offices (high-end corporate cubicle style) dedicated to GCTL activities.
Both facilities are where students in the Concentration in Game Culture and Technology perform their independent research. Access is 24/7.
The Concentration is a jointly run intensive academic program between the School of Information and Computer Science (ICS) and SOTA.

TODO: Plenty... please note that existing translation when you use our system has been done via Babelfish so it's really BAD - but it provides proof of concept.
Just for kicks see how automated translation using Babelfish exclusively butchers the GCTL site:
- English - DEFAULT
- English to Chinese-simp
- English to Chinese-trad
- English to Dutch
- English to French
- English to German
- English to Greek
- English to Italian
- English to Japanese
- English to Korean
- English to Portuguese
- English to Russian
- English to Spanish
BEWARE: you will appear to be logged out once you select a translation (the little icons up top will disappear). To bust out of Babelfish come back here to the "Mission" page (the joystick icon) and select "English - DEFAULT" and you will be logged in again.
Once you start navigating in another language prepare for things to break - for example do not use our language selector above. This is because Babelfish proxies and parses our pages. Again, this is just for DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES!
