Video Games are fun, but are they art? Heck yes. We explore the history and present of video games and what sets them apart as a means of artistic expression...
Someone cleverer than me said “art is the study of choice”, and the way I see it there are orders of magnitude more choices to be critiqued and appreciated not only for their own value, but how well they interact with each other dynamically in the game itself.
Now I’ll go watch the video and see how much daylight there is between me and them.
Edit: I read the transcript, seems like a middlebrow-er version of my own middling take.
