Susan Edwards, Hammer Museum @UCLA (@jolifanta)
(Previously at the J. Paul Getty Trust)
Web content developer. While not part of my job description, I have been working on games in museums on and off since the late 1990s. I worked with museum educators to develop the Getty's games on Whyville.net (an educational virtual world for kids), as well as the Getty's own GettyGames (yes, it's arguable whether those casual games are 'games'). I've been really interested in ARGs and environmental gaming.
