Video Games and Art

On my coffee table is a book called, I AM 8-BIT, comprised of cool artist renditions of iconic video game characters. I doubt anyone would deny the book of having artistic merit or integrity, but there are those out there that do not consider video games an art form.

There is an interesting article on Contemporary Aesthetics that makes an argument for video games as art. You can read the article here.

As a bonus, here are a few video game art related links:
