An art game(the arthouse game r less commonly auteur games)is a work of new interactive mediadigital software art as well as the member of the "art game" subgenre of the serious game.The term "art game" was first used academicaly in 2002 and it has come to be understood as describing a video game designed to enphasize art or whose structure is intented to produce some kind of reaction in its audeince.Art game are interactive,and they are the result of artistic intend by the party offering the piece for consideration.The concept has been extended by some art theorist to the realm of modified gaming when modifications have been made to existing non-art games to produce graphic results intended to bo viewed as an artistic display, as opposed to modifications intended to change game play scenarious or for story telling.
Art games are often considered as the means of demonstrating video games as works of arts.A defonation of the art game was proposed by professor Tiffany Holmes (School of the art institute chicago)in her 2003 paper for the Marlbourne DAC confrence.Professor Holmes defined the art game as "an interractive work asually humorous,by a visual astist that does one or more of the following challanges cultural stereotypes offers meaningful social or historical critique or tells a story in a novel manner".The paper further clarified that an art game must contain atleast two of the following:"a defined way to win or experience seccess in a mental challange ".It seems that there are a few defining characteristics to art games. Tiffany Holmes gives a definition of art games in her article Arcade Classics Spawn Art? Current Trends in the Art Game Genre (2003). Her definition goes: " . art games contain two of the following: a defined way to win or experience success in a mental challenge, passage through a series of levels (that may or may not be hierarchical), or a central character or icon which represents the player."
I can add that in most cases the art games are neither addictive nor meant to be played over and over, but merely shorter comments. Most art games are playable online, they are usually made for a PC and usually meant for a single player. The games always have interaction, but this interaction doesn't always have an effect on what goes on in the game. In Natalie Bookchin's game The Intruder, the many different games played by the user are merely a way to keep the user busy, while listening to a story by Jorge Luis Borges.
Art games can roughly be divided into two groups: political games and aesthetic games. A clear political game is Gonzalo Frasca's September 12. Another division can be made between the made-from-scratch games and the art mods - modifications of existing games. A lot of the big games allow modding, where you can create your own version of the game. A category related to the art mods is Machinima (a short form of mechanical animation ), pre-recorded and often edited movies made in a game by many users coordinating their characters. At this year's Ars Electronica, they showed several Machinimas.
Several art games don't quite fit the categories, but are using elements from the game format in the artwork. Computer based art has the advantage of using a media that is truly contemporary and integrated in our everyday life - at Artificial, we believe that it is the natural art of our times. Reacting to - and using the language of - computer games is an obvious development.
In a recent interview with Artificial, the creator behind Samorost, Jakub Dvorsky, said when asked what the game genre has to offer: "It's obvious - games are so popular because when you are playing games you are not only a viewer but also a player - you can influence what is happening in the game. So the artist creating an 'artistic game' can count on it.
