FINALLY someone recognizing that video games are an art form!
The Smithsonian American Art Museum is currently putting together a show on “The Art of Video Games”
They have a site to vote for games to put in the show: www.artofvideogames.org
From the site:
“From February 14 through April 7, 2011, the public is invited to help select games to be included in the exhibition. You can vote online for eighty games from a pool of 240 proposed choices in various categories, divided by era, game type, and platform. ”
I think this is awesome because some people would like to argue that “Video games can never be art”
Please check out the site and then please check out the show..
Say what you want but video games ARE an art form and it’s great that this is being recognized.
I guess you haven’t been to a Video Games LIVE Show. http://www.videogameslive.com/
That’s they’re whole purpose. They’re been touring around the world for several years now. It’s coming here to \ittsburgh agvain. The even use the symphony to play the soundtrack from the different games. Check it out on Youtube. I still want to catch this exhibit too.
