Artistic Direction

Christiane Schwinge holds a degree in pedagogy and works as a freelance media educator in various fields of education. She is founding member and speaker of the independent and nonprofit Initiative Creative Gaming, thus she campaigns for the creative, capable and critical use of digital games. Since its opening in 2015, Christiane is part of the direction of the ComputerSpielSchule Hamburg, an open media pedagogic institution for adolescents and adults taking place in Bücherhallen Hamburg, the public libraries of Hamburg. Besides, she works as a lecturer at different universities. Since 2016, she also coordinates the MINTforum Hamburg.

Among her favorite games are “B.U.T.T.O.N.”, “Octodad” and “Mimics”, because they are equally silly, funny and unplayable.
