Kars is ‘Chief Agent’ of Hubbub, a networked design studio for applied pervasive games. Hubbub works with organizations to create games that take place in public space, engage people physically, and are socially relevant. Amongst other things, these games are used to encourage good citizenship and to facilitate cultural participation.
In addition, Kars teaches at the Utrecht School of the Arts, where he mentors students pursuing a master of arts in interaction design or game design & development.
He’s also the initiator and co-organizer of ‘This Happened’ – Utrecht, a series of lectures dedicated to the stories behind interaction design.
