MODERATORS
But a video game is a whole. It’s surely made of many many small parts, that are artistic in their own right. But only the finished, whole, piece is the art.
And being more or less commercial isn’t what makes art art.
Art is the way to communicate an abstraction, and transport the viewer to it. It’s an exercise in empathy, of the artist to communicate it and the audience to experience it.
