Abstract
Games and art have crossed, at least since the beginning of the 20th century, as we can see in the use of the Exquisite Corpse of the Surrealists, in Duchamp’s obsession with chess and in the Fluxus games boxes. During the last twenty years, the separation between games and art has dissipated as much for the artists as for the creators of games. The field in which games and art have converged, superimposed, collided, found and, above all, interacted has not yet been widely explored. This research is about finding new ways of thinking about games, new ways to use games to think about the rest of the world. How games can contribute as an artistic medium and how art can subvert games order of the power.
