Games as Art & Expression Examined.

In “Games Are Not Coffee Mugs Ep#1” Prof. William K. Ford of John Marshall Law School and an expert panel delve into the history of games and legal decisions which did not and then did recognize the expressive aspects of the medium. For additional context check out Nostalgia Critic’s analysis “Are Video Games Art?” and Paola Antonelli’s stirring tale of “Why I brought Pac-Man to MoMA”.

 

In addition to the videos above check out the various talks from  the Museum of Modern Art’s “Contemporary Art Forum: Critical Play—The Game as an Art Form” held on May 17 & 18, 2012: http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/events/13985
