Art and Games
Anne-Marie Boisvert has put together a very interesting issue on art and games in the CIAC’s Electronic Magazine from Montreal. It features writing about art games and links to the games discussed.
There’s writing by Anne-Marie David Jhave Johnston, Edward Picot, Cindy Poremba, Xavier Malbreil, Rebecca Cannon, and myself.
There’s writing by Poremba and Malbreil about Jason’s work. Johnston writes about The Molleindustria, Italian games of social commentary / satire. Picot reviews a new online game, Machinarium, by the makers of Samorost. Anne-Marie looks at “persuasive games”: games as rhetorical tools. And Rebecca Cannon looks at the work of the Australian Anita Fontaine. Also, I’ve written a new essay called Art, Games and Play, Which looks at the relationship between art and games. My video interview with Dom Lopes about his book A Philosophy of Computer Art and my review of that book are there also.
Anne-Marie has been editing this online publication since 1997, and this is her last issue. I’m not sure if the magazine is going to continue or if that’s it. But she has done terrific work over the years with this magazine concerning net art. You could easily call it the most significant online magazine in Canada concerning net art. Many thanks to Anne-Marie for All Those stimulating issues. She’s doing a doctorate in Philosophy in Montreal. Let’s hope she continues her work in net art also. It’s a terrific last issue.
