Abstract
This essay investigates alternative narratives of the notion of engagement, as it is presented in literature on gamification. It re-evaluates life, creativity and movement, through the work of Henri Bergson, to critique the theories on agency and behaviour that support the development of gamification gadgets. In particular, it looks at the advertisement and functions of the NikeFuel running app, and compares it to artistic experiments that have proposed an alternative mode for being in contact with games and gamification technologies.
