Hrmm...

Can we really label Computer Generated pictures/worlds/whatever, true
"Art"? Is it Fine Art? Its very easy to duplicate, try painting Van Goghs
"Three Musicians" Again, it wont be easy. :>

We need to be careful in how we label Art. Just because someone
splashes paint on the wall does not necessarily make it expressive art. Whom-
ever throws that paint must understand the theories and thoughts that went
into that genre of painting.

So too must the programmer/graphics person understand the concepts
of "Art". A Game as Art? Maybe as a pop art, maybe if it reflects our
culture and ways to repair the damage we have inflicted..

Well, it was just a thought..

Ramble ON!
