@David_Rudnick i disagree, to the extent that i helped run a festival about it (Now Play This: our whole thing was about showing art & games in a way where the boundaries between them were hard to distinguish - which is also how i feel)Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@David_Rudnick i also feel like (thought the boundaries, are, again, blurred) that toys, games and videogames are qualitatively different things - though you can play with all of them.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@David_Rudnick however, i do feel pretty ambivalent about the effort to make videogames more respected by insisting that they are high culture, not low culture. by putting them in galleries and making rich people feel worthy for paying attention to them. even though, yeah, definitely did that.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@David_Rudnick the fact that videogames are kinda trashy, kinda disposable, kinda tawdry... that's one of the best things about them. and people can get very defensive & try to pretend that's not the case, and i think that can be a p embarrassing look.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@David_Rudnick oh, for sure - i care a lot about games. but also for me games are (from Bernie DeKoven) about a community of play, a voluntary & shared space where the rules can be constantly renegotiated. even when those are fixed eg Chess, it's about a shared willingness to abide by rules.Permalink Look on archive.org
-
@David_Rudnick whereas a singleplayer videogame is a predefined system that you manipulate, seeking a particular outcome. interesting wrinkles in how that system operates, discovery, and usually a fictional world to immerse yourself in... but it's not socially constructed in the same wayPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@David_Rudnick and for me a toy is similar, but without any goals set for you - it's about manipulating a system for the pure joy of itPermalink Look on archive.org
-
@David_Rudnick interesting! but it feels like the art world is doing enough to complicate that without needing to bring videogames into it. performance art, relational aesthetics, all of those exhibitions curated with an eye for Instagram, all challenging the idea of the indifferent objectPermalink Look on archive.org

@David_Rudnick but within that frame, a videogame gets closer than a game (by my definitions) to fitting into that category. a videogame can exist without players, a game can't.Permalink Look on archive.org

@mspowahs @mcclure111 yeah - Haxe came out of work to make alternative backends for Flash, and people I know who use it largely came from Flash. the Flash API compatibility stuff is now optional, and it's not just a pure recreation/compatibility layer now - rightly so, I think.Permalink Look on archive.org
