《游戏艺术里的规则与灵感》 Rules and Inspirations in Game Art (2023) 🔗🔗🔗

A talk in the 10th seminar, “Game Art: From Rules to Emergent Causality,” as part of the “Complexity Science and Art” series hosted by Swarma Pattern.

Art is often considered an expression of emotions, an attitude, or an unpredictable subjective presentation. On the other hand, game creation relies on rules as tools. Within these guidelines and constraints, can art still be art? This talk introduces classic games and performance/media art, as well as explore recent indie games, interactive design, and collaborative creations with diverse and evolving gameplay. The aim is to delve into the complex interplay between rules, order, inspiration, and emergence in games or gamified works.
