I'm sure not all modern art involves random dung flinging or mounting toilet roll holders on living room walls and claiming it's art.<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised if there already was a game where you control a monkey who hurls poop at a canvas. It's probably part of some shovelware minigame collection for the Wii, though.Graemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630990200203276992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062951757315737800.post-64143867112832570082009-10-25T12:58:58.931+02:002009-10-25T12:58:58.931+02:00Daniel, I think maybe an interactive modern art ga...Daniel, I think maybe an interactive modern art game might be kindof fun. Along the lines of, "control the monkey as it hurls coloured fesces at the canvas"? That's all modern art is, right?<br /><br />... or maybe I'm just a little cynical about modern art. Personally all I see are a mess of paint splashes like those on a dust-sheet after particularly mess painters.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848783872723352106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062951757315737800.post-26884884276270082222009-10-24T21:18:16.346+02:002009-10-24T21:18:16.346+02:00I'm inclined to agree with both of you guys, p...I'm inclined to agree with both of you guys, perhaps this isn't a good example of games as art, because while it does seem like it sets out to be art, it doesn't sound like much of a game.Graemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630990200203276992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062951757315737800.post-34333012064095626372009-10-23T15:54:25.468+02:002009-10-23T15:54:25.468+02:00I dunno... hmm.. art.

I mean all games involve an art component, and some of them, like silent hill and that cthulu game I can never remember the name of (Innesmouth something or other) were definitely artsy, but in a good way that had me reluctant to play them in the dark.<br /><br />Any game that sets out to be art isn't setting out to be a game, so is it art pretending to be a game, or is it a game with artistic pretentions? I don't mind the latter, but the former just sounds like such a waste of money.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00848783872723352106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062951757315737800.post-88056470495490500912009-10-22T22:58:49.209+02:002009-10-22T22:58:49.209+02:00So I read that 'review' and still have no ...So I read that 'review' and still have no idea what the 'game' is about.<br />It does sound a lot more like interactive modern art than an actual video game though.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706041589368296355noreply@blogger.com
