VIDEO GAMES - AN ART?
No one has ever able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great poets. film makers, novelists, composers, and painters. the concept of video games as an art form, is a controversial topic in the entertainment industry .
the problem is the fact that videos games represent a very new medium and conform you traditional notions of the game as a toy children and are dismissed as non-artistic. that a game can aspire to artistic importance as a visual experience is accepted but games are a loss of those precious hours we have available to make ourselves more creative, cultured, civilized, and concerned.
one obvious difference between art and games is that you can win a game . it has rules, points, objectives, and an outcome; a story, a novel. a play, dance, a film are things which you cannot win you can only experience.
hence games can never be art. their rules and goal-based interactivity dont explore the meaning of being human; for example the idea of versions of SHAKSPEARE plays that would allow for an optional happy ending would weaken the artistic expression of the original.......
the future fire rages are on and may change the very definition of art.
SO WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
