Bioshock 2 concept art
I had a thought about video games. And it seems Adam Sessler (a game reviewer) has stolen it. Right before I watched the video below, I realized that video games are a collection of different art forms. Sessler actually disagrees with me that the end result is actually art, or he is at least hesitant to place that label on video games. But I digress, video games are a collection of art; concept art, programming, story/narrative, and art direction all come together to form a video game. All of these elements are art individually, so I argue that when they are assembled collectively they should also still be considered art.
Adam Sessler uses his web show Sessler's Soapbox to reply to Ebert's latest claim that video games can never be art. I expected Sessler to be in agreement with me and many other gamers and to say that video games are art, but he surprisingly says that he doesn't want to call them art. He also says that gamers should not get so worked up about whether or not games are art. Check out the video for his explanation.
