I heavily lean towards yes, although not every game may be
the creation of the game might be art, but the game itself might not have an artistic statement and may be, for instance, just for fun
whereas some games lean into having an artistic statement or purpose, and those I would definitely consider being art

@sterophonick@wetdry.world games with passion put into them are art. indie games are art. big aaa games (e.g. call of duty, sports games) are just corporate slop, but still technically meet the definition for art, although i dont consider those to be art

@alexia so would you say that Fortnite or Counter-Strike as complete products aren't really art as opposed to a game like Silent Hill f or Dust: An Elysian Tail?
No judgment for any answer btw, just gathering opinions.

@kemona_halftau You mention AAA games, is that all AAA games? Think about titles like Silent Hill f or Mirror's Edge. do you consider those art?

@sterophonick@wetdry.world some aaa games are indeed art, basically if they have at least a little effort put into them then theyre art

one of the most common counterarguments I hear to the idea that videogames are art is their need to be played on specific hardware and how the culture constantly demands enhancements and remakes. what do you people think here

@sterophonick art and design, yes

additionally video games are in the odd position where a few extra gigahertz or gigashits per megafart can improve an experience such as stabilizing a framerate or reducing stutters, or by allowing more detail to be rendered in real time

@sterophonick i like to point at The Beginner's Guide when people ask things like this, because it really blends the line between artistic statement and just a game
it changed the course of my life.

@sterophonick it is the same with movies and music and their rereleases and 4k hd remasters

@sterophonick@wetdry.world is cinema art? cinema inherently requires the use of specific hardware for recording and playback
i feel like it's a very strange point to make -
@nelson i really oughtta play the beginner's guide
@sterophonick oh it's an amazing game, it made me so inspired that i'm still trying to make something based off the feeling that it gave me when i played it

@sterophonick Can video games be art? Yes. But the video games that most people have actually heard of? Generally, no.
Can food be art? Yes. Is the premade sandwich you bought last week art? No. Even though people involved in the design of that sandwich used creative skills, and even though sandwiches are fascinating objects with masses of historical and political resonances that stretch across thousands of years of history. Something can be significant and worth talking about without being art.

@sterophonick An artist like Takashi Murakami might even do a large-scale production run of premade sandwiches, making that format into art. The art practice is how you transform context and meaning.

Displaying the Rainbow
True or false? Your green laser pointer is more powerful than your red one. The answer is almost certainly false. They are, most likely, the same power, but your eye is far more sensitive to green, so it seems stronger. [Brandon Li] was thinking about how to best represent colors on computer screens and fell down the rabbit hole of what colors look like when arranged in a spectrum. Spoiler alert: almost all the images you see of the spectrum are incorrect in some way. The problem isn’t in our understanding of the physics, but more in the understanding of how humans perceive color.
Perception may start with physics, but it also extends to the biology of your eye and the psychology of your brain. What follows is a lot of math that finally winds up with the CIE 1931 color space diagram and the CIE 2012 system.
Some people obsess about fonts, and some about colors. If you are in the latter camp, this is probably old hat for you. However, if you want a glimpse into just how complicated it is to accurately represent colors, this is a fascinating read. You can learn about the Bezold-Brücke shift, the Helmholtz-Kohlrausch effect, and the Abney effect. Maybe that’ll help you win a bar bet one day.
The post winds up in the strangest place: spectroscopy. So if you want to see how color representation applies to analyzing blue sky, neon tubes, and a MacBook display, you’ll want to skip to the end.
We’ve nerded out on color spaces before. In some cases, the right representation is everything.
