Argyrios “Aris” Emmanouloudis is the Coordinator of the Game Art & Animation department at the SAE Institute of Amsterdam. He has also finished his PhD on Cultural Analysis in the University of Amsterdam, focusing on the intersection between online gaming communities and the industry. Not satisfied with just playing video games, he has always been on the lookout for the deeper, often ignored, side of games and their cultural extensions. With a background in Journalism and Media Studies, Aris has also worked as a journalist, interviewer, and events organiser for various popular culture outlets.
