The Center for Non-Anthropocentric Play (CNAP) is a research group situated within Noroff University College’s Interactive Media Department in Kristiansand, Norway. Co-founded in 2021 by Dr. Erik Geslin and Dr. Filipe Pais, colleagues in the Interactive Media Department, CNAP emerged from their shared passions for ecology, nature, and play experiences.Dr. Geslin is an expert in game and VR/XR development, specializing in affective gaming, while Dr. Pais is a researcher in Interactive Arts and Design, with a particular focus on exploring the intersection of these fields with technological agendas and their impacts on nature, human behavior, and non-human entities. As a response to the pressing need to rethink design in the post-Anthropocene, CNAP is dedicated to the cultivation of new social imaginaries in game experiences.
