Art Exhibit at the Smithsonian - Are Video Games ART?



    The Smithsonian is going to have a video game exhibit, displaying the years of the evolving art of video games. However, some people still argue that games are not art. How can they not be art? Some people argue that they have to be experience the same way for everyone who sees it, just they have to be able to interpret it differently.

    The problem with that definition of 'art' is that you would not be able to consider any musicals, plays, video games, figure skating or anything of that sort a type of art, because each of them could be different at each performance - some people will say a line differently, be at a different spot than the last time they were in the play, they could not see that part of the video game.. there are just so many reasons why that would not work. I don't understand how anyone could argue that video games are any different than any other type of art.
