Vdieo Games = Art?

1.    How does Adams define art? Do you agree with his definition?
-Literacy art (writing, drama)/ fine art (painting, sculpture)/ Decorative art ( wallpaper, furnishings)
- Videogames games -- literacy art
- Aesthetically interesting
- Not formulaic
- Has content, should not be empty

I suggest that aesthetic value is one of the crucial elements of art as it leads people to contemplate for appreciation. There are some great artists who painted brilliant pieces like Kandinsky. He tried not to present anything in his work and mainly focused on the rhythm of music which requires our imagination. However, whenever we think of the Fountain by Duchamp, we can argue that aesthetic value is not that important, but the concept. Here I think is an interesting topic.

2.    According to Adams, what is needed for videogames to be considered as art?
- More than just fun.
- Show aesthetic qualities through lines, colors, forms etc.
- Make people feel pleasurable.
- Have a content behind the formal elements.
