Video Games are Now an Art Form

Yes Mario, we are happy are well.

Well now, you can tell them that you are an art connoisseur and there is no way you can laugh at Art. Jokes apart, in what looks like a big step forward for Video Games and Video Game Developers as a whole, the US Government’s National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has officially announced that all forms of media created for the Internet and mobile technologies are now officially sanctioned art forms.

It will also make grants available  to the development, production, and national distribution of innovative media projects about the arts (e.g. visual arts, music, dance, literature, design, theater, musical theater, opera, folk & traditional arts, and media arts including film, audio, animation, and digital art) and media projects that can be considered works of art.
