Videogames and Art

We’ll be talking about the question of videogames as art later in the semester, but for now I wanted to point your way toward a recent overview of 10 artists who use videogames as their medium.

In a similar vein, the Smithsonian is putting together an exhibit, The Art of the Videogames, which will run from March 2012 through September 2012. A year too late for us, alas.

What really interests me is that these two visions of art in videogames that I link to above are totally different from each other.
