The Art of the Video Game 1 The advantages and disadvantages of video games have been debated for many years. Some people think they are ‘educational and, in some cases, therapeutic. Other people criticise them as a waste of time, of Worse, as an obsession or even an addiction, However, until recently not much attention has been paid to the artistic merits of this genre. 11] Are video games an art form? The five classical at forms are painting, sculpture, architecture, music and poetry. More recently, cinema has been added to this list. As well as being pleasing to the senses, art attempts to convey the artists ideas or feelings. Since video games combine so many elements of classic art, many people think that they should be considered art. Music is an important part of most games; the visuals reflect a modern type of “painting” or “sculpeure”; and the storylines are a form of “literature”. And, just as in classic art, the games present the creators’ ideas. However, early game creators considered themselves engineers or computer programmers rather than artists. In] So why has this genre not been generally recognised as art? One reason is that video games are created for ‘commercial purposes to be purchased for a prices therefore, critics say, they cannot be “pure” art. However, many other artists were similarly criticised, although their works too were designed to make money: Michelangelo was well-paid for his paintings and sculptures, while many 20th-century film directors have become well-off from their work. Another objection concems the interactive nature of video games. Since cach develops differently according to how it is played, critics claim itis impossible to classify ic as art. But cach person's reaction to any work of art is different and may change from one time to another — just as cach player’s game is different. This docs not mean | that the original product is not art. | 'V| Today, the question should not be whether or not these games are art. They have alrcady been recognised as such f | in exhibitions presented by major US museums, The question, rather, should focus, as with all at, on what is good | | and what is not 3 l fe | § 1 Choose the correct answer. fs 1.
