  • Effects of Art Styles on Video Game Narratives
    Effects of Art Styles on Video Game Narratives UNIVERSITY OF TURKU Department of Future Technologies Master's Thesis July 2018 Leena Hölttä UNIVERSITY OF TURKU Department of Future Technologies HÖLTTÄ, LEENA Effects of Art Styles on Video Game Narratives Master's thesis, 76 pages, 29 appendix pages Computer Science August 2018 The effect of an art style on a video game's narrative is not widely studied and not much is known about how the general player base views the topic. This thesis attempts to answer this question through the use of two different surveys, a general theory related one, and one based upon images and categorization and a visual novel based interview that aims at gaining a further understanding of the subject. The general results point to the art style creating and emphasizing a narrative's mood and greatly enhancing the player experience. Based on these results a simple framework ASGDF was created to help beginning art directors and designers to create the most fitting style for their narrative.

  • Chicago New Media 1973- 1992' Pays Tribute to the City's Contribution to Video Games and Digital
    Chicago New Media 1973- 1992' pays tribute to the city’s contribution to video games and digital art On the frontier of free information, experimentation, and self-expression. By Caroline Picard @cocolarolo Have a Nice Day II: VR Tour Through the Decades, Ellen Sandor, Chris Kemp, Diana Torres, and Azadeh Gholizadeh, (art)n, virtual reality installation with Unity and Oculus Rift, 2017. COURTESY OF ELLEN SANDOR AND VGA GALLERY Chicago isn't immediately associated with technology's vanguard in the popular imagination. But Gallery 400's current exhibition, "Chicago New Media 1973-1992," focuses on the city's contribution to new media history through a broad installation of video games, digital art, video art, and archival materials. The oldest photograph is a 1910 still from Uptown's Essanay Studios showing a cast of cowboys with horses posed beneath the elaborate (and heavy looking) electric studio lights. Not only is this image evidence of how, as curator Jon Cates puts it, Chicago was "an early contender" for the film industry, it shows a direct correlation between representations of the iconic west and the technology that produced it. With assistance from Chaz Evans, Jonathan Kinkley and the Video Game Art (VGA) Gallery, Cates highlights the way "new media"—video art, video games, and electronic music—evolved through a radical community of Chicago-based early adopters in the early 70s. "This creative culture of collaborative communities gathered together regularly to perform in various configurations publicly during annual Electronic Visualization Events on the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago," he says. "Their connections were social, artistic, educational, and technological." The exhibition shows how people like Dan Sandin, Phil Morton, Tom DeFanti, Ted Nelson, Jamie Faye Fenton, and others connected commercial gaming, academic research, and independent art making in a way that permanently impacted the industry.

  • Creating Disorientation, Fugue, And
    OCCLUSION: CREATING DISORIENTATION, FUGUE, AND APOPHENIA IN AN ART GAME by Klew Williams A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Interactive Media and Game Development __________________________________________________________ April 27th, 2017 APPROVED: ____________________________________ Brian Moriarty, Thesis Advisor _____________________________________ Dean O’Donnell, Committee _____________________________________ Ralph Sutter, Committee i Abstract Occlusion is a procedurally randomized interactive art experience which uses the motifs of repetition, isolation, incongruity and mutability to develop an experience of a Folie à Deux: a madness shared by two. It draws from traditional video game forms, development methods, and tools to situate itself in context with games as well as other forms of interactive digital media. In this way, Occlusion approaches the making of game-like media from the art criticism perspective of Materiality, and the written work accompanying the prototype discusses critical aesthetic concerns for Occlusion both as an art experience borrowing from games and as a text that can be academically understood in relation to other practices of media making. In addition to the produced software artifact and written analysis, this thesis includes primary research in the form of four interviews with artists, authors, game makers and game critics concerning Materiality and dissociative themes in game-like media. The written work first introduces Occlusion in context with other approaches to procedural remixing, Glitch Art, net.art, and analogue and digital collage and décollage, with special attention to recontextualization and apophenia. The experience, visual, and audio design approach of Occlusion is reviewed through a discussion of explicit design choices which define generative space.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Press Start Press Start Shifting Borders Shifting Borders: Walking Simulators, Artgames, and the Categorical Compulsions of Gaming Discourse Andrew Bailey York University, Canada Abstract This paper looks at how the walking simulator and artgame categories intersect, before comparatively analyzing two game designers whose work functions to disrupt the notions of genre these terms exemplify. The first work is Bill Viola’s The Night Journey (Game Innovation Lab & Viola, 2007), a gallery installation that many early game studies scholars used to help them first define how videogames could function as art. Following this, the paper compares Viola’s work to Connor Sherlock’s (2015) cheekily titled “Walking Simulator A Month Club.” With this project, Sherlock uses the itch.io and Patreon platforms to release a new experimental walking simulator game every month. Like The Night Journey, each of Sherlock’s games are ambiguously rendered and non- goal oriented. To conclude, this paper uses these two examples to investigate the potentially useful relations that can be uncovered between the experiences of traversing gallery and game space.

  • Art Space: an Experimental Digital Art Gam
    SOCIETY. INTEGRATION. EDUCATION Proceedings of the International Scientific Conference. Volume V, May 22th -23th, 2020. 649-660 ART SPACE: AN EXPERIMENTAL DIGITAL ART GAM Ieva Gintere Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Latvia Abstract. The article examines the discourse concerning modern game theory and suggests a new method of research and knowledge transfer in the field of digital art game creation. The method is embodied in the new game Art Space that utilizes current research results in the field of contemporary aesthetics. Art Space is an experimental digital game that is being created in collaboration between researcher, Dr.art. Ieva Gintere (Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences, Latvia) and the game artist, Mag.art. Kristaps Biters (Liepāja University, Latvia) within the framework of a post-doctoral project. The concept of this new art game arises from the historical heritage of modern art. The aim of the game is knowledge transfer: the author has been carrying out research into contemporary digital games in order to transfer the results of the research to develop an appreciation and understanding of aesthetics in Art Game’s players. The game links aesthetics to art games by identifying modern trends such as pixel art, glitch, noise, and others. Due to the dearth of written information on the subject of modern art heritage in digital games, the study presents an innovative approach to art gaming explaining modern art’s cultural backgrounds. The methods used are audio-visual and stylistic analyses of games as well as studies of the existing literature. The project hopes to raise the interest of the wider public concerning contemporary art and music, point out the newest creative tendencies in art, and suggest potential changes in the language of art in the near future.

  • New Media Art: the Artist's Perspective in Museum Acquisitions
    ALI-ABA Museum Administrators Conference, 2005 THE ARTIST’S PERSPECTIVE IN THE ACQUISITION, EXHIBITION, AND PRESERVATION OF NEW MEDIA WORKS By Brooke Oliver Summary: New Media art, which is digital, internet, video, or other interactive or variable media art, poses unique challenges to artists and collectors alike in its acquisition, exhibition, and preservation. By design, some aspect of the art work itself changes, such as a moving display, compilation of source code, interaction with the viewer, or by virtue of the work’s interplay with a networked or internet environment. Conceptual installation work may include parts that visitors may take home with them. As internet art work is played or displayed, underlying source code sometimes reaches out through the internet to incorporate images or sounds into a changing audiovisual display. The art itself often can be changed by the viewer as a participant in the evolving work, usually within parameters established by the artist. In that context, even defining the “original” work requires an expansion of traditional notions in the commissioning or acquisition of such works. Because of the variable nature of the medium, New Media artists’ concerns are often different than those of artists working in more traditional media. Many New Media artists release their works through the internet under copyLeft licenses that not only permit but encourage subsequent users to alter, modify, and build upon the works. They are less concerned about the work remaining as they created it than in being credited as the initiator of an evolving piece. The expressly limited United States Visual Artists Rights Act (17 U.S.C.
