TIPC-Online 1 & 2

“It’s even more real when it’s digital”

That’s a little motto we had as a VALUE incrowd joke to defend archaeology in games being ‘even more real archaeology’ than regular archaeology. When The Interactive Pasts Conferences were fully digital for TIPC-Online 1 & 2 we found out that we were really wrong: as we now know online conferencing is a different beast altogether.

TIPC-Online 1 was held on Twitch, from 12:00 GMT, May 25 to 12:00 GMT, May 26, 2017. It was organized by the VALUE Foundation, as the result of a stretch goal for The Interactive Past Kickstarter. TIPC-Online 2 was held on Twitch from November 5-6, 2020. It was organized as a corona pandemic lockdown alternative to TIPC3.

Only a few hours of the 24 hour TIPC-Online livestream have been published online. You can watch most of TIPC-Online 2 on our YouTube Channel in its entirety, however.

Check back here in a few weeks to find out more about how these conferences came to be and how they went.
