Art or not? Why?

  • According to Baumgartel “art that deals with computer games has quickly moved beyond the often-formal boundaries within which much Internet and software art is situated. These explorations are frequently done in a fashion that is critical and ironic, disrespectful and deconstructivist/…these artists do not take technological dispositives for granted, but rather manipulate and abuse, circumvent and modify original games/data in order to generate new visual and behavioural forms that intervene in an emerging cultural and social phenomenon.”
  • It means that Super-Mario Clouds can be a art, because it is a generate new visual forms to represent the Super-Mario clouds. Cory arcangel uses the Super-Mario Clouds to modify orginal games.
