Anyone who thinks video games aren't art is an idiot who doesn't understand the basic definition of the word.

[(Anonymous)]

But there are different definitions of the word, and with some definitions I can see that video games could be argued as not being Art.

I disagree, because I think the academic discussion surround What Is Art and High Art ridiculous but to say people in those discussions don't understand the basic definition is just kind of silly. You are just having two different arguments basically.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sincerely curious, under what definition of art would video games not be art?

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I don't think video games inherently are art. Like is Pong art?
On the other hand, I don't think video games inherently aren't art.

Not all writing is art. Some writing is definitely art though.

It depends on the game.

[(Anonymous)]

Is Pong art? Yes, of course.

For some people, art doesn't just mean any creative work. Some definitions of the word refer more narrowly to a certain level of quality. Then of course there are disagreements on what is included. But the word art does have multiple meanings.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, if we're talking purely about quality, then let's be real, a lot of "art" doesn't really qualify as art.

[philstar22]

Oh, I totally agree. All I'm saying is that different people mean different things when they use the word art.

[(Anonymous)]

Is a simulated version of tic tac toe, art? Is playing a sudoku game in game app, art?

Are sports art?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

To try to be generous: I once read an essay arguing that nothing interactive should be considered art, because art is just taking in what the artist offers. I thought this was stupid, but it was at least creatively stupid.

[(Anonymous)]

Under academic definitions. It could be considered low art by some, but generally speaking movies, tv, video games, all not considered art.

It would be like calling all written forms literature.

SA

[(Anonymous)]

To be clear, I don't agree. I find most philosophical definition discussions eye roll worthy and not worth my time, but I have a few friends that love to discuss this stuff. (though not with me lol)

[philstar22]

I think the tricky thing is there are multiple definitions of art, and not everyone is using it the same way. Art can mean broadly any creative creations. But there are also more narrow definitions that are equally valid depending on the context. I think people just should make clear which definition they are using. And also there needs to be more of a recognition of how subjective art is and that not everyone defines "bad" the same way and that is okay.

[(Anonymous)]

Offended that Happy Death Day is in there, TBH. I love those movies.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I didn’t make this pic; I just looked for a collage of bad movies.

[(Anonymous)]

I’ve never seen the movie and have no opinion of it, but “it’s bad” and “I love it” can also coexist peacefully.

[(Anonymous)]

honestly one of the most overlooked and important points in the whole messy debate tbh
