Fascinating Worlds 

Our latest exhibition catalogue for The Davis Museum at Wellesley College, co-published by MIT Press, is for independent game designer Jason Rohrer. We recently attended the opening of The Game Worlds of Jason Rohrer, the first museum retrospective dedicated to the work of a single video game maker.

The night was a great success, kicking off with a fascinating lecture by Jason, where he discussed his work and motives to make gaming a human experience, followed by a reception and dinner. The exhibition, artfully designed by ikd and on view through June 26, has received glowing revies from The New York Times and The Boston Globe—we highly recommend checking it out! And when you visit, check out our catalogue for the show, which inspired the typography in the exhibition. It even got a shout-out in The Wall Street Journal as one of three  “Must-Read Books for Geeks”!
