  • A comment on Conversation: Video games = art?!?

    Jun 4 2013: In my opinion video games include both the elements of art and design so I consider them as a form of Architecture.

    Video games are Architecture!

    A comment on Talk: Paola Antonelli: Why I brought Pac-Man to MoMA

    Jun 4 2013: Thank you so much for this talk.
    Thank you so much for the MoMA collection of video games.

    Video games are still a new medium of design and expression and I believe that some games in history will be considered and remembered as a form of Art by many people. That is the significant conclusion.

    Also, cinema was not considered as a form of Art by the majority of critics in the first years of its existence...
    Photography too...

    In my personal opinion, video games include both the elements of Art and Design, so i consider them as a form of Architecture.

  • A comment on Conversation: What's the overlooked gem, the book I haven't read that I must?

    Feb 21 2011: A few years ago i would never dare to suggest "the ultimate book" because every work of art is unique. But....
    I read a book that changed the way I think about myself and the world and I believe that everybody should read it.

    "The Denial of Death" by Ernest Becker.

    All the truth about the self and the society in my opinion. Happy reading!
