| Qays said: Trying what? To convince Wii fans that there is such a thing as art and that it cannot be measured by its performance in the marketplace? I've long since given up trying to do that. I'm just trying to understand if this is a mindset that you practice in your lives entire, or if you otherwise understand that there is a difference between good and bad art and simply chose to suspend this understanding when it comes to video games. |
Rather, you classify things as art way too often. I've seen maybe a handful of games that I would ever classify as art in the last two gens. I don't even classify most music, movies, or even pictures as 'art'. Art is a particular expression of a given medium. Not all things we can see are art, lots of paintings are art, mainly because that is a specialized profession where people who paint are expressly trying to create art. Much like sculptures. But I resoundly reject the notion that most imagery is art or games for that matter. Most games, even from the so called golden age durring the atari/NES/SNES era were not art.
