Abstract

For this Journal of Science and Technology of the Arts special edition, we called for research papers that reflected the theme of Arts and Games, Convergent Feminism and Speculative Futures. We were interested in exploring and experimenting with the intricate relationships and coalitions between the arts, convergent feminism and digital and analog technologies, bringing together codes and algorithms, creativity and community involvement. This invitation sparked the interest of some authors with diverse points of view and diverse arts-based research. This special edition presents articles that are likely to pick the interest of a wide audience which questions the role of artificial intelligence in the arts and seeks examples of art-based research that takes advantage of transmedia ecologies and gaming to generate sustainable futures.

Keywords: Transmedia, Gaming, Convergent feminism, Arts-based research, Future ecologies
