| Immortal said: Games being art is possibly the most ridiculous notion I have ever come across. Actually, art in itself is the most ridiculous notion I have ever come across. If you can define it (in a way which does not allow a convincing argument for my spit being art), then hats off to you. How the heck can you argue whether or not games are art if you don't have some sort of stringent definition for art itself? |
My take is that society at large is what ultimately decides what art is, and it has to stand to test of time to be true art IMO. I see it as a commentary of society that acts as both a reflection of society and helps to shape it. But I agree, no individual can necessarilly claim something to be art as if it's fact just because they think so, the same way somebody claiming a game to be quality, or crap, doesn't make it a fact.
