[General Discussion] Games as Art

I'm not sure I ever bought the explanation that because the gamer has a direct choice over how the game is played that it necessarily can't be art.

It implies a "correct" interpretation of something like Michaelangelo's David, or the cubist movement. We make a decision to interpret for ourselves when it comes to art, and one opinion, though it might me more informed by historical evidence, isn't always right.

Fluidity is part and parcel of what we see in art. What you might appreciate one day for a certain reason won't always be why you appreciate the piece.

Course, I'm taking more of a liberal definition of art, mostly as it comes out of literature.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
