> Are you a game maker?  Are you telling compelling stories about your life or the world around you? Are you doing interesting things through games and interactivity that cannot be done elsewhere?

> If you are telling a story, relaying an experience, or interacting with a player in an innovative or novel way we want to see it.  Learn to Play is calling for submissions of work for a new museum show built around games as art. Learn to Play will be opening this fall as parallel programming for the 2010 01SJ Biennial. The theme is “build your own world.”
