Belief
Games belong to a new dimension of creative expression. And the special thing about them is their power to deliver the joy of Play. You can think of a sculptor as someone who creates with the three dimensions of volume; or filmmakers as creators of stories through the use of space and time captured by a camera. The art of games is about sculpting Fate.
Just picture the role of a game designer whose duty is to shape chaos and provide players with capsules of uncertainty that will permit them live stories only possible in the imagination. Game making is the most outstanding form of expression in this age of creative democracy where consumers become creators and protagonists.
This blog will not only talk about games, it will also talk about the beauty of Interactivity and my endeavors as a designer experiencing this silent revolution called Internet.
Thanks for visiting and looking forwards to start a digital conversation.
Hey Santiago!
I’m writing an essay at university about whether games are an art or not and I was wondering how I could cite your blogs?
Thanks.
I just found your blog through technorati, and I’m glad I did. I just recently posted about art games, in part due to The Marriage circulating in the blogosphere.

Hola! si, si…soy el tipo que le encantaba GamesAreArt pero nunca hablaba nada….Vas a crear algun tipo de remplazo para el foro? una seccion de discuciones en el Wiki?
do you have any (academic) papers with regards to art 2.0: games and the internet?
I would be more than interested in reading them, even if they are not authored by yourself.
Hello,
Games are REALLY art! In my hometown I start to debate with the people about this “fact”. All together, your work and the work of other people all over the world will not be useless. I hope so.
Sorry bout my poor english.
Move on with your projects.
Thanks and greetings from germany.

I am a student at Berklee college of Music in Boston, and formed the college’s first Video game music club this september, the Berklee VGMC. I feel it’s my “mission” to promote games and game music as my generation’s art form, and am stressing that game music has to be done with respect to what is its musical history and language- I completely agree with what you state here, and as our club grows every day, I meet people who share this idea. Keep it up! Games have to be given the respect they deserve-and their potential as an art form has still to be fully used.
