Name Game: The Physical Impossibility of Art in the Mind of Someone Gaming

[cbert]

The real question on everyone's mind is,

Which piece would be a spiky blue shell? "For the love of God" by Hirst would fit the bill.

I've had a fear of red turtles (specifically their shells) since I played Mario Kart 64 as a kid

Well there are interactive art pieces out there. And if the piece involves the viewer to change the piece on a videoscreen for fun, does that not constitute art as a 'videogame'?

Actually they can act as video games. Anyone remember Echochrome!? That game proved that the works of M.C.Escher (and the mindfuckery of it all with it's perspective changes) can serve as a damn good game.

great example.

Thanks man, but I'm such a huge abstract art fanatic. I am in love and I mean, I AM IN LOVE WITH M.C. ESCHER'S ART

Anything that's abstract or horror inducing I will gobble it up. I remember spending time at the Houston museum of modern art for hours on end for a project and just got lost in the abstract section.
Picasso, Van Gogh, Fuseli (Horror painter)
They all stimulate my ocular senses.

 

[the lapalminator]

A worthy question.
By the way, was that a Paperboy joke?

No, it's Mario Kart 64!!! Have you ever played?

i dunno it looks more road rash to me.

I laughed so hard at the ending. Came from nowhere. And then when the commenters explained it was from Mario Kart (never plaid Mario Kart since I never used to have FRIENDS!! *sobs heavily*) I laughed even more. Forgive the cuss but I fucking love the comics on this site so much. XD

You should check out a Japanese artist by the name of Naoto Hattori (I think)

Andy Warhol is why video games are art, or art is crap. Warhol is such a overrated hack.

 

[WolfLordAndy]

Noooo, not the Warhol!

Still, would love to see some interactive art exhibits that are truely computer games rather then just some silly looping video that plays when you enter the room.

 

[RepeatAfterMe]

A bit of an obvious joke, but the illustrations were very well done

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

Anyone else think of the Velvet Underground? No? Just me? Ok, then.

Not just you. As soon as I saw the first panel, 'Sunday Morning' started playing in my head.

And will now for the foreseeable future.

 

[Cazer]

Well then, even more escapist for me to fit into my week now.

Hands up anyone else who is enough of a pretentious fag to get the title reference..
