Can video games be art ?

What is art to us?

We believe that art is a way to express ourselves (Reality or imagination). It wants to create emotions and feelings to the viewer. Art lasts for a long time, but nowadays it changes faster than before. Art has changed its purposes. First it was used to represent, to pass cultural values and moral purposes and now as a way to express.

What is art for Adam? Do we agree with him?

Adam thinks that art should have content (ideas). It needs to be aesthetic and doesn’t need a formula to be created. Art is not about being useful; it’s about expressing and creating feelings to the viewers. The entire group agrees with Adam’s definition.

Can Videogames be classified as art? What do we think?

Adam believes that videogames can turn to be a form art. Half of the group believes that videogames cannot be art because nowadays they are focused to create money (Commercial purpose) and it would be too hard to change that fact. Also gamers don’t pay attention to the aesthetic value, they only want to be entertain. The other half agrees that it can be art because some features like audio and visuals can express something that can be considered as something aesthetic. The second point is that we believe that videogames share ideas and has content.

    Elbe, I agree with what you say, video can be classified as an art to some extent. You showed clearly how your group think, I think you could also include about your own opinion more:)
