This reminds me of when Roger Ebert dismissed video games of being incapable of becoming art. Anything that requires creativity to make is art. Different mediums offer different avenues for creative expression as well as different ways of interacting with an audience.
- khedoros1 9y ago> Anything that requires creativity to make is art. I strongly disagree with this statement, in the context of the definition of "art" that Ebert was using. His definition also excludes the vast majority of movies, paintings, and other things that are generally acknowledged as "art". Ebert was talking about sublime art. It's easy for something to be creative without being sublime.
- cholantesh 9y agoEbert ultimately had to invent that definition of art when he found himself unable to defend his original premise. Or, really, unwilling,because he didn't want to spend time playing video games so as to bolster his argument.
