: The Art of Video Games : Kjell May 05, 2011, 09:54:25 PM The Art of Video Games is one of the first exhibitions to explore the forty-year evolution of video games as an artistic medium, with a focus on striking visual effects and the creative use of new technologies. http://www.americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/archive/2012/games/ Some peculiar picks .. and no Jet Set Radio? : Re: The Art of Video Games : Michaël Samyn May 05, 2011, 10:25:01 PM It's like making an exhibition called "The Art of Cinema" and having Star Wars, Die Hard and Grease but nothing by Godard, Bergman or Pasolini. Very liberal, indeed. ;D
: Re: The Art of Video Games : Michaël Samyn May 05, 2011, 10:25:41 PM Maybe they should have called it "The Pop Art of Video Games". :)
: Re: The Art of Video Games : Michaël Samyn May 05, 2011, 10:27:24 PM And the three commercial games that got closed to anything artistic (Ico, Black & White and Silent Hill 2) are not even in the list.

Very liberal, indeed. ;D And this is why you don't let the Internet vote forth the most artistic anything (especially not the gamer community). It tends to confuse good entertainment with good art. Sure, Super Mario may be great for what it is, but what it is isn't art.: Re: The Art of Video Games : ghostwheel May 06, 2011, 01:07:52 AM I like Bergman but pretentious and obtuse doesn't mean artistic. And Shakespeare wrote populist entertainment. Ever see Titus Andronicus?
: Re: The Art of Video Games : Michaël Samyn May 06, 2011, 09:25:54 AM Well, if we're discussing taste, then I can safely say that I prefer Bergman over Shakespeare. 8)
