technical university eindhoven: 1st vision lecture - september2006
DESCRIPTION
Between 2006 and 2008 I was Domain Manager for Domain Play at the Technical University in Eindhoven. This domain, one of the four domains in the Bachelor's phase (health, home, work and play), used to be called Domain Entertainment. I set up a new programme and, together with the team of lecturer-coaches, I developed a series of new projects, workshops and lectures. The faculty board allowed me to rename the Domain and redefine the thematical point of departure. This lecture was one of three presentations meant to elucidate my ideas and curricular strategy. This lecture was the first of a series of four, given in September 2006.TRANSCRIPT

Entertainment is an event, performance, or activity designed to give pleasure to an audience (although, for example, in the case of a computer game the "audience" may be only one person). Recreation, play, reading, and art appreciation are not generally regarded as entertainment but rather as recreation because entertainment generally requires the supplier of the performance to be visible to the viewer, with the exception of computer games.
Play is amusing interaction with people, animals, or toys, often in the context of learning or recreation. Some play has clearly defined goals and is called a game, some play has no such goal and is unrestrained.As a theoretical concept, play is notoriously difficult to tightly define. Rather than having a single meaning, play is best seen as descriptive of a range of activities that can be ascribed to both humans and non-humans.
