A misunderstood masterpiece of mainstream political art.
KharBevNor:
I programmed Life in RPG Maker 2003 once.
One of the more pointless ways I have ever wasted four or five hours.
Storm Rider:
What about this?
öde:
That's purely entertainment. I wouldn't say entertainment isn't art, it's just art I generally don't care about.
I consider 'proper' art to be something that puts across an idea or causes a reaction from the viewer.

To answer the first, no. Not all computer games are art. Some are just games spruced up with art. It's probably not until the SNES era where I'd really start to call computer games art.

You don't have to attack me, it was a rethorical question.
What I mean is that I don't think you can say some games / films are art and some are not. If one game is considered art, then the whole medium should be. And I don't think video games have come to that level yet.

This is a good point, I think.
Khar, I go to galleries often enough, and actually at one of my local galleries there's an exhibition about comedy in recent art that uses media like advertisments, including one Native American-done piece that essentially consists of repetition of the Big Chief Beef Jerky logo. However when something like that is put up there's something behind it. I suggested, and you probably knew this, a scenario in which those advertisements were simply put up as is and required nothing but being aesthetically pleasing.
I'd identify the former more than the latter, Dan; either that, or it inspires the viewer somehow. Looking on my desk there is a lot of stuff which has been aesthetically designed, from what I'm wearing to the picture on my can of apple juice to the drawing of a dude drinking a draught on the beer stein we keep pens in, but I wouldn't necessarily call it "proper" art.
