Art, video games and digital worlds

Part of CITY | SPACE | VIDEO GAMES: a series of talks exploring the relationship between video games, history, art and architecture.

Are art installations the new video games?

The question of whether digital artefacts, such as video games, can be considered 'art' is by no means a new one. But can art be considered a game? Does the new wave of digital interactive work constitute the gamification of art? Can we experience art by playing with it? And what impact does digital technology have on this process? In this talk, digital arts expert Dr Magnus Moar (Middlesex University) will be joined by artists Seth Kriebel, Michael Takeo Magruder, and Blast Theory's Ju Row Farr, to explore this complex and contentious debate. The talk will be preceded by a 20 minute performance by Seth Kriebel (limited availability). Seth Kriebel's The Unbuilt Room is a piece of performance-gaming designed to explore how places create memories and how memories create places. A group of 20 players will wander through imaginary worlds and virtual spaces like in an old text-based adventure in the real world..!
