this conference is being recorded – Ken Eklund a social change ARG

By lance weiler, July 26th, 2007

Today we are joined by writer and game designer Ken Eklund. Over the past 20 years Ken has been writing and designing games. His most recent game World Without Oil, was an ITVS funded ARG (alternate reality games) about a future oil shock. WWO is the first ARG designed to create a dialog about our dependency on oil and stimulate social change.
