Good Game Peace Out

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter suggests that Henri Lefebvre’s triadic of spatial production remains a useful methodology for understating the production of space in our age of contemporary digital technology. Using the example of Rollback Netcode — an algorithm deployed in some online fighting games to ensure smooth gameplay — I explore post-cinematic representations of space in what I call the Beyond. Then I present a multi-dimensional reading of Lefebvre’s triadic. I suggest that reading Lefebvre in this way provides a useful methodology by which we might understand the complex spatial entanglements that are being produced and mediated by contemporary digital technology.
