Book Description
The visitor to an Art Arena game is confronted with an enormous piece of paper covering one wall of the room. Groups of players are at work painting, some with spontaneity or abandon, others with thoughtful precision. Back from the wall are knots of players calling our apparently cryptic information to those at work on the paper, or transmitting it in coded sounds using whistles, pipes and various home-made instruments. Colours are phased across the wall, sometimes colliding, sometimes mingling, or encircling each other. But what is the connection between the sound flow and the painting? This book, originally published in 1979, describes the beginnings of a new approach to art education – an approach based on the use of games in art. The games draw not only upon artistic and design skills, but also upon those that teachers in all subjects try to develop in their pupils: logical thinking, breadth of judgement, imagination and sensibility in handling materials and media. They also provide a vehicle for familiarizing players with a wealth of concepts and data from different topics. The approach aims at promoting group work and cooperative interaction, and has proved to be of interest to social workers and to teachers of disabled and difficult children. It has been tried out with an unusual variety of groups, from mixed and low ability to groups of gifted children, students and adults, and while the level of playing has varied, the games have elicited high involvement from participants. While referring to game theory and research, the book is essentially practical, giving instructions for inventing and playing games, and descriptions of a number of games played by different groups. The end of the book gives a detailed list of concepts and suggestions for further reading, and lists of materials and suppliers.

Book Description
An exploration of the relationship between games and art that examines the ways that both gamemakers and artists create game-based artworks. Games and art have intersected at least since the early twentieth century, as can be seen in the Surrealists' use of Exquisite Corpse and other games, Duchamp's obsession with Chess, and Fluxus event scores and boxes—to name just a few examples. Over the past fifteen years, the synthesis of art and games has clouded for both artists and gamemakers. Contemporary art has drawn on the tool set of videogames, but has not considered them a cultural form with its own conceptual, formal, and experiential affordances. For their part, game developers and players focus on the innate properties of games and the experiences they provide, giving little attention to what it means to create and evaluate fine art. In Works of Game, John Sharp bridges this gap, offering a formal aesthetics of games that encompasses the commonalities and the differences between games and art. Sharp describes three communities of practice and offers case studies for each. “Game Art,” which includes such artists as Julian Oliver, Cory Arcangel, and JODI (Joan Heemskerk and Dirk Paesmans) treats videogames as a form of popular culture from which can be borrowed subject matter, tools, and processes. “Artgames,” created by gamemakers including Jason Rohrer, Brenda Romero, and Jonathan Blow, explore territory usually occupied by poetry, painting, literature, or film. Finally, “Artists' Games”—with artists including Blast Theory, Mary Flanagan, and the collaboration of Nathalie Pozzi and Eric Zimmerman—represents a more synthetic conception of games as an artistic medium. The work of these gamemakers, Sharp suggests, shows that it is possible to create game-based artworks that satisfy the aesthetic and critical values of both the contemporary art and game communities.
