Carnegie Mellon to Explore Games As Art

Home : News : News Story

Are games art? Carnegie Mellon's School of Art and Entertainment Technology Center will seek the answer to that question at a symposium.

"The Art of Play" Symposium and Arcade is a two-day event March 31-April 1 that explores the gaming medium and its impact as art. Featured events include the Art of Play Arcade and presentations by Electronic Arts' LA's Randy Smith, Jason Rohrer of Arthouse Games and ETC professor Jesse Schell.

The symposium could also give us a glimpse at the future of gaming as it will give some aspiring designers a chance to impress. Carnegie Mellon students will present games and receive feedback from symposium guests during the Poetics of Gameplay Master Class 12. Man, why didn't LSU-Shreveport have cool classes like this?
