Alex Declino is a game designer exploring authority and control in digital and online systems. He is the program director of Sybil – an r&d space for weird gaming – the co-founder of the gaming studio Moving Castles, and member of The Dark Forest Collective initiated by Yancey Strickler. His narratives and simulations are fueled by themes of tech-driven espionage, CEO meltdowns, the innovative exploitations of late-stage capitalism, and the almost Sisyphean tragicomedies of crypto. Alumnus of Fabrica, the Jan Van Eyck Academie, and the Sandberg Instituut; former lecturer on real-time CG at Goldsmiths University, London, and Staedelschule, Frankfurt.
