Dr. Daniel Cermak-Sassenrath (mail@dace.de)
Daniel Cermak-Sassenrath is a player, artist, Maker and academic. His specific areas of expertise are Game Studies and the philosophy of play. His research foci include play within and without games, play and materiality, play and learning, and critical play. He is the author of a monograph about play as a perspective in everyday computer use (transcript, 2010), and the editor of a volume on the Playful Disruption of Digital Media (Springer, 2018). His current (2024) book project is an introductory programming book for non-tech people to learn to code with and for games (CRC/Routledge, forthcoming). In his own practice, he makes games and playful installations, builds hardware interfaces and controllers, and creates performances. His works have been shown internationally at art exhibitions, academic conferences and popular events. He is an active member of the international games research community. He is former Associate Professor at the IT University of Copenhagen (ITU), Denmark, member of the Center for Digital Play, and Co-Head of the Games Group. At the ITU, he was also affiliated with the Center for Computing Education Research (CCER), the Media, Art & Design (MAD) Research Group, and the Robotics, Evolution and Art Lab (REAL). He taught in the Games' Programme in the Design Track. Daniel initiated, hosted and facilitated the monthly BreakIT Maker workshop.
