Citizen Game

Today's medianote is from a National Public Radio story about the continuing evolution of video games and other interactive media as an art form. The growth and development of this emerging mass medium is compared with the establishment of movies a hundred years ago. Just as movies went through a time when they were thought of as mindless diversions and little more, the NPR commentator argues that interactive media will slowly become accepted as a media art form. As with movies, which run the gamut from mindless fluff to the subject matter of university classes, video games (or at least some of them) will go artistically and intellectually upscale.
