The New ArtsPermalink
In our modern age, art is probably one of the more important of aspects of our lives. As we get older, art does too. Art has evolved greatly since the paintings in those cave when the first humans began to show up. We now have fully interactive environments like Megaton and Albion. Both of which have thier own unique quality.

Are video games art? It's a new statement. What started this arguement? Well most would mention movie critique Ebert. The "two thumbs up" guy. He said proudly: "video games can never be art". He's never played Orcana of Time. Art is hard to really capture. Some things can and cannot be considered art. It's a simple fact.

But who are we to debate what is and what isn't? How can we say that one form of entertainment is art while the other is just entertainment? At the end of the day we can all agree that it all amounts to personal preference. Some like being able to change and interact with the world around them.

The most important idea here is that in order to change and grow, you must first be willing to experience new things. It's there that most people stop cold. New things are scary and different. A little excitlment never hurt. Just remember that at the end of the day it's up to you to decide for yourself. I don't know as far as answering the question: "Are video games art". I think answer lies in how many people buy video games every year. music
