Art Perspective: The Art of Video Games

23 February 2012 9:07 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Game Art!

Hey arty people, video games are coming to a gallery near you (If you live in or are visiting the Us anytime soon)! It’s true, the art-form that is gaming is about to make it into a real gallery space thanks to the forward thinking people at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The last Art Perspective focused on the subtle inclusion of Apple’s iPads in David Hockney’s work, but this week we see gaming fully embraced by the gallery world with the forthcoming exhibition The Art of Video Games.

The exhibition title might suggest that there is a focus on cutting edge arty games or the obscure indy market, but this is not the case. The games are all fairly mainstream and popular titles, showing that the whole gaming medium is worthy of praise, whether it is a modern Fps or a classic 8-bit adventure. »
