But I mean the Blizzard/MOCA thing was clearly being sold (and consumed) as proof of the artness of games at large, and in the first place what was inside the frames was pretty unimaginative and boring, sorta like the Kinkade for the male teenage id.<br /><br />Which is not to say that those drawings weren't cool on a certain level, or that they didn't take talent or effort to create, but I don't think there's an A-for-effort in this conversation.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17350378036741382933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104877393630580333.post-49521277037670520062010-08-31T06:57:48.196+08:002010-08-31T06:57:48.196+08:00good post, jeff-o. i found the videogame stuff par...good post, jeff-o. i found the videogame stuff particularly interesting. i think if there's any artistry in something like world of warcraft, it must lay in the world itself, which, of course, is completely lost when you take a snapshot of a monster and put a gilded frame around it. in my mind, that is like taking a sentence or two from a novel and reading it to a crowd. well, okay. that's nice. but in your excerpting, you've done just that. pardon me... but where's the rest?Ben Johnsonnoreply@blogger.com
