Download or read book Video Game Art Reader written by Tiffany Funk and published by Amherst College Press. This book was released on 2022-04 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of VGAR critically analyzes video game art as a means of survival. Though "survival strategy" exists as a defined gaming genre, all video games-as unique, participatory artworks-model both individual and collaborative means of survival through play. Video games offer opportunities to navigate both historical and fictional conflicts, traverse landscapes devastated by climate change or nuclear holocaust, and manage the limited resources of individuals or even whole civilizations on earth and beyond. They offer players a dizzying array of dystopian scenarios in which to build and invent, cooperate with others (through other players, NPCs, or AI) to survive another day. Contributors show how video games focus attention, hone visuospatial skills, and shape cognitive control and physical reflexes and thus have the power to participate in the larger context of radical, activist artworks that challenge destructive hegemonic structures as methods of human conditioning, coping, and creating.

Download or read book Video Games as Art written by Frank G. Bosman and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video games are a relative late arrival on the cultural stage. While the academic discipline of game studies has evolved quickly since the nineties of the last century, the academia is only beginning to grasp the intellectual, philosophical, aesthetical, and existential potency of the new medium. The same applies to the question whether video games are (or are not) art in and on themselves. Based on the Communication-Oriented Analysis, the authors assess the plausibility of games-as-art and define the domains associted with this question.

Download or read book Art and Videogames written by Debora Ferrari and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first analysis of the relationship between art and video games, from the sixties until today. Art and play: how many forms does this relationship take? Duchamp used to say that art was a game and that games were art. When video games joined the dance of the muses this relationship was further enriched. Video games are an art and in recent years they have had a crucial influence on other arts: cinema, literature, music and visual arts. They stand at the crossroads between very diverse forms of culture and product, and it is precisely the anomaly inherent in this encounter/clash that makes them so terribly interesting. Neoludica is an in-depth exploration of the relationship between art and video games, and it underlines how the video game (an interactive multimedia work) is an art form that has yet to be understood by the world of culture. The interactive dimension is a facet that has attracted art since the advent of environmental installations during the sixties, and it is a dimension that has since been developed in digital art through video installations. The video game/art contamination occurs not only on the aesthetic level, but also through those elements of language which can be defined as conceptual, such as interactivity mentioned above. Naturally, it acquires an artistic dimension when its aims go beyond mere technical prowess and explore the world of fantasy.

This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pong, Pac man, Tétris, Mario, les sims,...Tous ces noms font aujourd'hui partie de la culture populaire. Il faut dire que face à la réussite économique exponentielle des jeux vidéo, peu de médias sont restés de marbre. Pour les uns, c'est un loisir de masse aliénant. Pour d'autres, il s'agit d'une nouvelle forme d'art. Certains prétendent même qu'il suit les traces de son grand frère, le cinéma, né lui aussi sous les feu des critiques. Cet ouvrage sans complaisance ni à priori se propose de jeter les bases d'une définition de cet univers. Accessible et écrit dans une langue claire, il concerne aussi bien les parents de joueurs que les passionnés de la technologie, et plus généralement toute personne s'intéressant à l'art ou la culture.
Download or read book La cr ation artistique dans le jeu video written by Pascal Krajewski and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objet culturel indéniable, le jeu vidéo n'a pas atteint la dignité artistique des autres arts et médias : on lui reproche d'être ludique, technologique et commercial. Mais sont-ce bien là des défauts fatals ? Ne s'agit-il pas plutôt de nouvelles ressources pour créer des oeuvres en forgeant de riches imaginaires ? Objet numérique, le jeu vidéo se conçoit au moyen d'outils technologiques nombreux, assistant autant que formatant les types de pensée et d'écriture offerts à son créateur. Appareil interactif, il réinvente le rôle du spect-acteur plongé au coeur du processus de création et du déploiement de l'oeuvre. Elément majeur d'une culture transmédiatique, il s'abreuve à diverses sources artistiques.Ce sont là les principaux lieux de la question que ce livre tente d'éclairer. Si le jeu vidéo est un art, comment rendre compte de ses spécifi cités créatrices ?

Download or read book Les jeux vid o au croisement du social de l art et de la culture written by Sylvie Craipeau and published by Presses Universitaires de Nancy. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parfois qualifiés de sérieux ou de pervasifs, les jeux vidéo occupent désormais massivement les marchés du divertissement. Phénomène de grande ampleur, cet objet ne peut plus être ignoré des recherches en sciences humaines et sociales. Comme les game studies anglo-saxonnes, les recherches vidéoludiques francophones ont connu un essor au tournant du nouveau millénaire. Et si les deux champs présentent des similitudes et nourrissent des échanges, les approches francophones cultivent également leurs singularités, comme en attestent les textes réunis dans ce volume. Ces travaux s'inscrivent dans une démarche pluridisciplinaire qui cherche à éviter deux travers répandus dans les analyses du jeu vidéo : la stigmatisation et la fascination. Interroger la notion de jeu amène à s'intéresser à ses fonctions sociales, éducatives ou culturelles mais aussi à considérer sa dimension esthétique. Comprendre le phénomène, c'est aussi identifier ce qui fonde nos représentations du ludique à un moment et en un lieu donné, en étant attentif aux dynamiques d'évolution de ses manifestations. Les analyses proposées ici se situent donc résolument au croisement du social, de l'art et de la culture.

Download or read book Video Game Art Reader written by Tiffany Funk and published by Amherst College Press. This book was released on 2024-02-27 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many ambitious and experimental game forms don't fit into the digital download or retail distribution channels that support so-called “traditional” video games. Instead, these games are supported by a new global movement in video game curation. This special edition of the Video Game Art Reader features an international collaboration of video game professionals working together to create a resource for game exhibition organization, design, and curation. Professionals, artists, and others who organize and curate video game exhibitions and events act within a rhizomatic network of methods, missions, and goals. They establish organizations like galleries, collectives, and non-profits. Methods of sharing video games as critical cultural phenomena continue to evolve and expand. Conceived during the first meeting of GAIA (Game Arts International Assembly), the Game Art Curators Kit documents and shares the collective experience of an international network of video game curators and organizers. Sharing practical tips on everything from accessibility to preservation, the book also serves as a guide to support a new global movement in video game curation.
