Domain in Digital Media: video game culture is used as a metaphor to interpret local digital culture(Leonardo, Volume 44, Number 1, February 2011, pp. 90-91). How many different modes of interaction can be used in video games? The example of Mario’s Furniture shows me a direction to investigate. Mario’s Furniture is an interactive video installation integrating computer vision and wireless technology with artistic production and performance. A wireless environment, where viewers become players. Able to play the game in the physical world while seeing themselves and their scores projected on screen in real time. Players’ actions simultaneously take place in the real space of the exhibit and virtual space of the video projection ( Hillary Mushkin, S.E. Barnet. 2008).
Interactivity is an essential part in digital media. Salen and Zimmerman introduced four modes of interactivity: cognitive interactivity, functional interactivity, explicit interactivity and beyond-object-interactivity. Besides, Markus Friedl mentions three modes of interactivity: player-to-player, player-to-computer and player-to-game interactivity. I am thinking that if it is possible to be more physically interaction between user and medium. Tack Woo defines two modes of transitive interaction, liminal interaction and transitive interaction. Transitive interaction is considered as more physical transaction between the user and the medium. All types of physical computing, which use sensors to operate digital media, can be defined as transitive interaction. Nintendo Wii’s physical interactive controlling packages are good examples of transitive interaction. (Leonardo, Volume 44, Number 1, February 2011, pp. 90-91)

    Roger Ebert's Video Games Can Never Be Art

    Throughout history, Art has been a form of expression that has altered situations, revolutionized methods of thought, and shaken worlds, both building them up and crumbling them downward. These days however, Art has become a form which is underrated and under appreciated due to the technological and business worlds taking over. Despite these advancements though, Art has continued to build and expand into different forms, pushing the limits of what was originally defined as “Artistic”. One of these forms which has quickly risen along with the increase in technology includes video games, which are utilized primarily for entertainment to various audiences, both young and old. When created in a unique manner though, these games can prove to be…

    Mary Flanagan Playing House Analysis

    Mary Flanagan’s story “Playing House,” clarifies how artists deployed numerous representations in their games. In other words, her main argument focuses on materials that layout rambling patterns. After reading this story, the three topics I thought were the most helpful in understanding Flanagan’s argument are Looking at Games, Shifts in Perspective, and A New Focus on Play. In this paper I will reveal the three headings as well as explaining how this story helped me learn in terms of studying video games.…

    Be A Gamer Save The World By Dave Larsen Analysis

    Jane Mcgonigal is a highly respected speaker and a consultant best known for her open mind about the promise and utility of video games. She is a game developer who partners with real-world organizations to design games that explore the idea of real-world problems. Jane also serves as Director of Games Research and Development at the Institute for the Future. By having such a specific background, naturally, Mcgonigal tends to focus on the positive side of video games and how they can help save the world. Dave Larsen, however, does not seem to be as qualified for the specific topic. Larsen graduated from Boston University, College of Communication, where he wrote for his college paper. He has served as a film critic and a pop music critic but currently covers high-technology, research industry and consumer electronics for the Dayton Daily News. By having such a broad background Larsen tends to focus on the more obvious troubles with video games. Seeing how diverse the backgrounds of these two authors are, one can recognize why they disagree on their take on video…

    Rhetorical Analysis: Game Studios

    Kurt Squire, a writer for “Game Studios”, in his article “Cultural Framing of Computer/Video Games”(2002) explores the role of video game in society that proposes that video games are the next generation of media with a variety of uses. He focuses on the history of games-media and compares the platform to other media such as film and television, in order to counter arguments critical of games, then he explores the beneficial implementation of games for learning purposes by providing evidence supporting games as learning tools. Squire develops this evidence in order to persuade the audience to favor video and computer games as a “next-generation” social tool. Squire seems to intend his audience to be either business or media leaders by presenting…

    Rip Roaring Coasters And NOVA: Roller Coaster

    My sister and I decided to investigate the space and found our parents playing an old Super Nintendo Entertainment System hooked up to a vintage television set with antennas protruding from the top. Upon our arrival, they passed their controllers to us, allowing us to experience video games for the first time. I instantly fell in love with gaming, from the sensationally beautiful graphics to the ability to control a character on screen through pressing the “right” direction on the d-pad. The perplexing amazement gaming offered me paralleled to the bewilderment I experienced when watching the roller coaster VHS tapes, where, nearly every day when I got home from kindergarten, I would look forward to either playing Super Mario World or Donkey Kong Country. Moreover, I began collecting vintage and modern video games and consoles, and the vibrant characters I played as served as an inspiration for my art, where I frequently drew them in my notebooks and on printer paper. Both experiences with roller coasters and video games impregnated my mind with curiosity for how humans (the magicians) could conceive such physical and digital experiences…

    Video Games as Art

    Are video games art? Up until the early 21st century, the dominant ideology surrounding this topic is resounding “No”. Art critics, such as Roger Ebert that state “video games cannot be art.” (Roger Ebert's Journal), and philosophers continually dismiss the idea. This ideology is no longer an accepted truth. I will argue that video games are a form of art. Video Games have gone from simple games and concepts such as Pong (1975) to modern day, epic titles like Uncharted 3 (2011), and with that they have evolved from simple forms of entertainment to as sophisticated a form of art as any. Video games evoke great emotion from the players, much like the audience of any other form of art. Video games also should be considered a form of art because of the vast amount of tools and media that are combined to create the games that we play today. The list of games that can be considered art increases each year and it spans over many generations, consoles, and genres.…

    Reality Madia

    If Mike Figgis’s remarkable Timecode (2000) exemplifies the difficult search of digital cinema for its own unique aesthetics, it equally demonstrates how these emerging aesthetics borrow from cinema’s rich past, from other media, and from the conventions of computer software. The film splits the screen into the four quadrants to show us four different actions taking place at once. This is of course something that have been common in computer games for a while; we may also recall computer user’s ability to open a new window into a document, which is the standard feature of all popular software programs. In tracking the characters in real time, Timecode follows the principle of unity of space and time that goes back to the seventeenth century classicism. At the same time, since we are presented with video images which appear in separate frames within the screen and which provide different viewpoints on the same building, the film also makes a strong reference to the aesthetics of video surveillance. At the end, we may ask if we are dealing with a film that is borrowing strategies from other media; or with a “reality TV” program that adopts the strategies of surveillance; or with a computer game that heavily relies on cinema. In short, is Timecode still cinema or is it already new media?…

    Importance of Multimedia in computing

    And with the advent of multimedia, the computer has evolved into a distinctive medium that is uniquely capable of juxtaposing text, images, audio, and video. Multimedia permits an extraordinary flexibility in conveying concepts—through words, pictures, and sounds, as something that can be built or played as well as read or watched. . . . New genres, such as simulation games, are emerging that challenge the user or player to build some complex creation—a city, species, business, or world—out of some given set of resources, or that put the student into a simulated environment or through a scenario to meet a challenge or learn a skill. The computer thereby turns the passive reader into a participant; it cues the student of a need to do something, but not necessarily what to do. With multimedia the computer draws on more of the senses, and more dimensions of intelligence, enlarging the opportunity to learn for those who have been less able to learn from conventional teaching materials. . . . [S]ome uses of the new media are genuinely inspired, provocative, and engaging, and these examples suggest that that we have opened an important new chapter in the history of the imagination—and of education."…
