COLUMN | VIDEO GAMES The new Ars Nova: games as an art form By Tiara Dees
There are several major art forms in the 21st century, including music, film, litera- ture, photography, paintings, sculpture and video games. How are video games art, you may ask? The concept and definition of art depends on a person’s per- sonal views of what art really is. Through my studies as an artist, mainly as a musician and composer, I have devel- oped my own personal, and very general, definition of what art is that I will use for the pur- pose of my argument: Art is the embodiment of human thought, expression and values. Since video games were developed using human thought, express emotion through storytelling and proj- ect the values of the society around it, that is the basic rea- son why video games should be considered the new “Ars Nova,” or “new art.” Criticism
The idea that video games can be art has been criticized in the art world. Roger Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, has stressed quite simply on his Sun-Times blog that “video games can never be art.” Why? Ebert states that one of the reasons present-day video games are not art is that “no video gamer now living will survive long enough to expe- rience the medium as an art form” in his blog titled “Video games can never be art.” However, the issue with his argument is this: how long must something exist for it to be considered “art?” Painting, sculpture and music have cer- tainly existed much longer than film and photography. So why must video games be sin- gled out as a medium that can- not be considered art? “No one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game Order your ring Now! worthy of comparison with the great poets, filmmakers, novel- ists and poets,” Ebert states.

When news came out Aug. 31 that reigning Heisman winner Mark Ingram had surgery on his left knee, it seemed as if every Crimson Tide fan held their breath. The 48-3 victory over San Jose State last week allowed them to finally exhale, as Alabama rushed for a total of 257 yards without Ingram. Coninued on page 8 Trent Richardson runs into the end zone to score from 39 yards out to put Alabama up 21-3 early in the second quarter against San Jose State. Richardson and Eddie Lacy did more than enough to make up for the absence of Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram.
