Talks

Pointing out the similarities between games and raves at Pumpehuset in Copenhagen, June 2014.

Talk: The ten surprising similarities between the electronic music scene and computer games
I have been writing professionally about computer games since 2001 but I have been deeply involved in the electronic music scene for even longer, since 1993 – and I have found that the similarities between the two worlds are astonishing. To a hilarious degree.

What are the similarities between raver and gamer culture? Which lessons could they learn from each other? And what does that tell us about the world today? Join me on this entertaining and highly personal talk tour-de-force through the surprising similarities between two digital cultures and their move from experimental underground in the 80’s to global dominion, colourful diversity and mainstream attention. This talk will surely make you rethink concepts (and celebrate the underground). Info and booking at christina@majcher.dk | +45 40 40 49 18

Talk: The only woman in the room
The majority of people working in the games industry are men, and this is often presented as a problem. But is it really? Using her own experiences from working many years as a games journalist, Christina Majcher sheds light on both the advantages and drawbacks of being the only woman in the room, including how being ‘different’ is an absolutely must when it comes to creativity and why it’s a really, really bad idea to adopt the role of the victim. A much needed input to the us-against-them rhetorics of the feminism debate. Info and booking at christina@majcher.dk | +45 40 40 49 18
