YOUR PLACE OR MINECRAFT? #3 - The Chicken Uprising
This witty web series follows the virtual lives of a handful academics playing Minecraft together. An online adventure of fun, smarts and drama. In episode 3, GersandeLF (Gersande La Flèche) takes us inside Witch Mountain for a discussion of wilderness, curation, and carpentry as philosophical work. She also offers a tour of the first fast food franchise built in the Server, and the hellscape and revolution to which it gave rise.

The 'mLab server' is one of the most modded Minecraft servers in the world. But what makes it really special is that it is owned by academic game research centres of Concordia University where the players—students and professors—all work together in real life. Their real life friendships, objectives and conflicts result in fascinating, self-reflexive and sometimes explosive gameplay.
