Making Meaning – Episode #2: Tamar Clarke-Brown, Nina Davies, Patrick Blenkarn, Leland Masek and 2girls1comp

M-Cult's Making Meaning is a documentation series in which artists and speakers featured in M-Cult's programme are interviewed. In the series, we ask: Who are you, what do you do and how, and above all, why?

In the second episode we focus on contributors from Gaming the Civic programme. Theater director and game designer Patrick Blenkarn, moving image and performance artist Nina Davies, Curator of Arts Technologies at Serpentine Galleries Tamar Clarke-Brown, Tampere University researcher Leland Masek, and modding duo 2girls1comp (Marco De Mutiis & Alexandra Pfammatter) explore games, workshops, and performance as tools for civic life. From multiplayer gallery games and choreographed loops between online and physical spaces, to card-game workshops and GTA V mods, the episode asks what it means to make the rules together — and why it matters. The episode has been edited by Kalle Kuisma.
