ART GAME STUDIES - jonCates (2010 - present) New Media Art works are often constructed as games. These projects are referred to as Art Games. Game Studies is the academic study of games and the resulting discourses on the theorypractices of Game Cultures. Art Game Studies resides in the intersection of these 2 fields of activity. i developed the Art Game Studies course at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in the Art History, Theory and Criticism and the Film, Video, New Media & Animation departments in 2010. This course gives students a Media Art Histories overview of Art Games as well as introductions to the theories and discourses of Game Studies. Art Games shown include JODI's Untitled Game series, The Graveyard by Tale of Tales, WACO RESURRECTION by C-LEVEL and Natalie Bookchin's The Intruder. Game Studies texts will be drawn from theorists and historians including Katie Salen, Alexander Galloway, Jesper Juul, Anne-Marie Schleiner and Ian Bogost. |
