Designing for a Feeling: MDA, Immersive Experiences & Emerging Technology
Tue, Nov 10, 12:00 AMWhat do you want your audience to feel—and how do you design an experience that gets them there? Join Columbia DSL on Monday, November 9, for an evening with **Nick Fortugno** exploring MDA (Mechanics, Dynamics, and Aesthetics) as a framework for creating compelling immersive experiences. In MDA, aesthetics refers to the emotional experience of participating: wonder, tension, discovery, connection, belonging. We’ll explore how those feelings emerge through the rules you create, the choices you offer, and the interactions that unfold between participants. Together, we’ll consider: * **Mechanics:** What can participants do? What rules and systems shape their choices? * **Dynamics:** What happens as people interact with those systems and one another? * **Aesthetics:** What does the experience make people feel? Whether you’re working with AI, interactive storytelling, games, or live performance, MDA offers a practical way to connect creative intention with audience experience. Come explore how starting with a feeling can shape what you build. ## About Nick Fortugno **Nick Fortugno** is a game designer, interactive storyteller, and educator. He is Director of Digital Game Development and a Distinguished Lecturer at The City College of New York, part of CUNY, and co-founder of Playmatics. With more than two decades of experience, his work spans games, immersive experiences, and emerging technology. His credits include lead designer of *Diner Dash* and lead interactive narrative designer on *Frankenstein AI*, presented at Sundance’s New Frontier. He also co-founded Come Out & Play, a festival that transforms public spaces into places for play.

Legitimation Crisis by Jürgen Habermas Week 1
Sat, Nov 14, 3:00 PMJürgen Habermas (1929-2026), German philosopher and social theorist, passed away this past March. To honor his passing we will examine *Legitimation Crisis*, originally published in German in 1973. In this work Habermas provided a sober critique of Western culture, democracy, and capitalism. As a supporter of rationality and democracy, his goal was to lay out the deep problems he saw facing the west at the time, diagnosing them with precision, in order to challenge the very institutions he held dear to change course and avoid disaster. He argued that advanced capitalist societies face a legitimation crisis, in which citizens lose trust in a political and economic system that cannot deliver what it promises, a loss that could undermine the society itself. Now that it is 2026 and it feels like political and economic crises are potentially around the corner at every turn, we can benefit from analyzing this timely text. With the benefit of hindsight we can weigh what Habermas had to say against what actually happened, looking to draw lessons for the present. We will read this text in four parts. For the first week we will read pages 1-32 (Part 1: Ch 1-4). Participants should read the entire assigned reading before attending this in person meeting. I will be reading from this version [here](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MMYVGFY?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback). For questions please send me a direct message through Meetup. Best, Brian
