Lecture11:Are digital art considered to be art?

A)How does Adams define art? Do you agree with his definition?

Adam consider art as:

-a form of communication from the artist to viewer

-has message/ theme

-has content

-has aesthetic quality/value

-aesthetically interesting

-makes you feel something

-does not involve merchandising

my opinion:

I think aesthetically interesting is the most important factor for an art to be considered as an art. It is because not all the art has a message, ie some artists may think just "art for art's sake". But all art can considered to be art is because they are innovative and interesting to viewer. It doesn't confined art to has ceratin boundaries and allow artists to create art more freely.

B) According to Adam, what is needed for videogames to be considered as art?

He said that :

-games should be include formal and aesthetic qualities, like the colour,form,lines and etc.

-should has ideas and something message to say

-should be innovative

-should appropriating the game and representing in a new idea
