About the interactive art show game:
This past November, a group of 50 experienced game designers came together and huddled to try and solve design's toughest problems: "How can video games be promoted as art?"
(article can be read at www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3974/making_games_art_the_designers_.php )

It brought out a lot of debate on the internet and blogs, and questioned whether video game design should even be considered "art". Regardless of how people may feel... one thing is for sure. Video games are the future and more popular today than they ever have been. "You Call that Art? (part 1 and 2)" sets the stage to ask: not whether video game design can be promoted as art... but rather... "How can video games work better together with the traditional arts?" Lately, it is has been a great concern to hear that "painting is dead" or that "painting is so 18th century". This particular frame of thought creates the very objective of the interactive art show video game. We hope you take the time to check it out the "new art show experience" at www.interactiveartshow.com We would love to hear how you feel about it!
