Ludic Rooms

Making Play with Arts and Tech Outdoors Since 2009

Ludic Rooms were founded in Coventry in 2009. We are a constituted non-profit with charitable aims.

We make stuff with things and things with stuff. We’ve presented work in many forms, including exhibitions, installations, performances, films, hybrid games, and online experiences.

Our unique approach to play and postdigital arts has garnered us a strong international reputation.

Our work supports artists and creative professionals to get hands on with new technologies and approaches, to playfully experiment and explore.

We also work with education and community partners to design and lead participatory arts projects that include digital skills development.

Play is central to our work, in particular the unpragmatic and open ended forms of ludic play. Our work uses tech but is ultimately human-centred and invites people to imagine their place in the present as well as imaginary pasts and futures. We use play-based methodologies to prototype, playtest and refine ideas quickly.

We like to seek out new playmates and we’ve worked across the UK, collaborating with dozens of associated artists and partner organisations.
