Videospiele und die Künste

Reading and discussion with Daniel Martin Feige in the Generation Postdigital series

Moderation: Olia Lialina | Video games have become an indispensable part of our pop culture in recent years. But what does this mean for their role as art? Where exactly do they find their place alongside established art forms? In this lecture, we will explore the exciting question of whether video games can be regarded as an artistic medium and take a critical look at the traditional understanding of art. It will become clear that the boundaries of the arts are not fixed, but constantly changing - and video games are a fascinating example of this.
