*Welcome to the World of Interplay!*
We are thrilled to share our latest publication with you. Interplay takes you on a journey to explore new worlds and different forms of intelligence, made accessible through play.
The idea for this book came up with the artist, game designer, and researcher Will Freudenheim's exhibition Schema (December 2023 - May 2024) at Caldo Worldwide. The idea developed into a collaborative work with the philosopher of technology, William Morgan, and with Will Freudenheim complementing the publication with other self-developed games and sharing their insightful knowledge and ideas alongside co-authors Flora Weil, Wendi Yan, Doug Stark, and Sylvan Rackham.
The book examines five groundbreaking experiments in the field of game design, created through interdisciplinary collaboration among game designers, artists, scientists, philosophers, and sociologists named Biotopy, Interplay, Schema, Nephila, and Vivarium. The games serve as tools to establish and engage in playful interactions and collaborations between human and non-human intelligence.

Interplay by Will Freudenheim and William Morgan
€30.00
To ongoing debates about emerging technologies, namely artificial intelligence and biotechnology, this book contributes the novel hypothesis that interaction sites between human and non-human intelligences, be they human, collective, biotic, synthetic or environmental, are already proliferating according to developments in game design. In short, new genera and species of interactions and of intelligences are already present in playful experiments.
This book tracks the evolution of five such intelligence experiments, not unlike a set of petridishes with variant initial conditions. In doing so, what the book offers is not a unified theory of ‘play in the age of AI’, but rather a multifaceted account of how intelligences form and emerge through and across playful interaction surfaces, spaces and dynamics.
