The Art of Video Games is one of the first exhibitions to explore the evolution of video games through art with a focus on graphics, storytelling and player interactions. The exhibition features many influential artists and designers across eras of game development. Video games are known for using player participation to tell stories and engage audiences. In the same way as film, animation and performance, video games are an influential form of art.
Video games are steadily growing as an expressive medium in society and they have attracted exceptional artists. Video games offer artists a method of communicating with and engaging audiences. New technology allows designers to create interactive and sophisticated game environments while staying true to traditional game types. Five games, one from each gaming era, are available in the exhibition for visitors to play and gain some feel for the interactivity. The five games (Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, The Secret of Monkey Island, Myst and Flower) demonstrate how players interact with the virtual worlds and highlight innovative techniques that set the standard for many games to come.
The opening reception at the museum on Saturday, January 23 (4-8pm) is free and open to the public. The museum is located at Florida International University (10795 S.W. 17 Avenue, Miami, Florida 33199).
