DIGM Colloquium Presents: Seeing Like a Soldier (5/13/2025)

Tue, 13 May 2025 17:00:00 GMT

End Date:	5/13/2025	End Time:	2:30 PM

Seeing Like a Soldier: the Coproduction of the Unreal Engine and the State through America’s Army

Join us for a talk following Epic Games and Unreal’s early history, and how the early design of the engine was shaped both by competitors in the games industry, but also through interactions with the US Military.

RSVP HERE

From early on, Epic framed Unreal as a democratizing force for game development, while also working to produce Unreal as a flexible toolset for Army simulation, training, and recruitment. The computational dimensions of the engine were only a part of this toolset, Epic and the Army also envisioned Unreal as the connective tissue between the US Government and the interactive entertainment industry at large. In so doing, Unreal was part of the production of computation and engineering as masculinized, militaristic culture—not physically strong and reckless like the hypermasculine “Rambo” films would have potential Army recruits believe, but rather militarist masculinity as “reasoned” and “analytic.” This history provides a lens both into the development of the games industry and also into how technological systems are used to shape and recruit young men into actors for state power, a practice that continues through the deployment of AI as a recruitment tool for DOGE by Elon Musk.
