In Response To: (F)ART OR NOT? (Miguel Chavez) : A nice woman makes the nice film critic man revisit a topic near and dear to : our hearts. : http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/04/video_games_can_never_be_art.html : Hundreds of comments already - you would be wise to peruse those - may make
I posted this on my Facebook page, and my friend had this to say: 'Well, IMO... At this point, there's going to be an almost unbridgable gap for people of a certain age (not necessarily in years, but in thinking). If they have never played, they've missed out on the learning curve; without the right background experience with the games that lead up to the present, it may indeed be impossible for somebody to try ... See Moreone of the truly brilliant, epic, even artistic masterpieces of today. There's a barrier of familiarity, all the way down to the tactile feel of a controller in your hands. Snag a renowned art critic from the late 1800's and drop him into the present and ask him if {insert awesome movie here} is art, and he's likely to say no. Not because it's not art, but because it's actually impossible for him to tell.' Thoughts?
