I genuinely consider titles like Planescape Torment and Morrowind to be art, as the amount of thought and details and coherence put into them is really astonishing if you pay attention.

>>377287289
Yes.
"Passionate dev makes game" is art.
Cashgrabber with zombies HD is art too, but one is like a high quality painting you'd see in a museum, while the other is a furry commission you'd find on deviantart.

If we are going by the traditional definition of art then video games aren't in itself but use artistic elements, such as music, writings, and so on

Going by the 2017 definition of "art" then sure, literally everything is considered art, you can literally just wipe your ass with an A4 paper and people will praise it

>>377287289
yes but being considered art has had a negative effect on them

Ive always thought of them as a form a kinetic sculpture,

Art is subjective so this is a choppy topic. An art piece has to have an "aura" that makes you think & feel. If a particular video game invokes any of that, it can be art to you. (same goes for films)

>Walk around the Museum of Modern Art, look at those masterpieces it holds by Picasso andJackson Pollock, and what you are seeing is a series of personal visions. A work of art is one person's reaction to life. Any definition of art that robs it of this inner response by a human creator is a worthless definition. Art may be made with a paintbrush orselected as a ready-made, but it has to be an act of personal imagination.

>The worlds created by electronic games are more like playgrounds where experience is created by the interaction between a player and a programme. The player cannot claim to impose a personal vision of life on the game, while the creator of the game has ceded that responsibility. No one "owns" the game, so there is no artist, and therefore no work of art.

>This is the essential difference between games and art, and it precedes the digital age. Chess is a great game, but even the finest chess player in the world isn't an artist. She is a chess player.Artistry may have gone into the design of the chess pieces. But the game of chess itself is not art nor does it generate art – it is just a game.
