Digital Games- But are they art?

What is art?
In Adam's article, there are three different types of art. They are literary art, fine art and decorative
art.So that, it is a great argument of "are digital games art?"

There is a discussion of our group, we found that the digital games can be an art, but not all of them. How can a digital game be an art? We think that it must has a deep story and beautiful picture of it. Make it simple, the digital game can not just for playing, it must provide a visual enjoyment to the players. Other while, it can not be an art.

There are some example of digital games. They were the digital games in Japan of 1980s. It is the early history for digital games. Seem that they are not an art because they did not have deep strong and beautiful images. they were just game for killing time.




Mary mentioned a game called "Witcher". It is an art because it had a deeper story. For example, player can choose different selection for create a different story line. Also, it had a beautiful CG images. Even of the view and locations in the game are very pretty. So, it can be an art.



There is the video of the interview within our group
