...talking with Yannick Rochat (UNIL)
In this second episode of the CH Ludens podcast, host Eugen Pfister talks with his colleague Prof. Yannick Rochat, who leads the project Team at UNIL. Together, they discuss the game studies scene in Switzerland and previous networking efforts, which ultimately led to ever closer cooperation in our Sinergia project. Yannick introduces us to his team – Pierre-Yves, Sophie and Johan – and talks about the countless interviews that have been conducted so far, as well as the Platform Studies, which in Lausanne focus primarily on the analysis of the Swiss computer ‘Smaky’. Finally, Yannick introduces us to the history of the Zeta Challenger from Biel/Bienne and the different initiatives of games history and games preservation in Switzerland.
