The committee brainstormed and discussed the graphical platform for Desktop Olympics. After careful crafting we ended up with a simple, monochrome logotype that subtly connotes our heritage to the ancient games yet expresses a new context:
The Desktop Olympic committee shares their working space with other fine Brain Workers at the Magdalena Festival: a workshop called Embodied Vision hosted by Michael Smyth. The committee had the other group test-run Notepad Slalom and Mouse Boxing. In their ajoining presentation the committee stressed the socialising aspects of Desktop Olympic sports: unlike most (online) computer games they are meant to be played together in the same room, on the same computer.
Invitations, reappropriation, unfinished situations were the buzzwords of the evening.
