 Innumerable images have been amassed by our culture to date, revealing an engaging dialogue about who we are, where we have been, and what we would like to become. As we embark on the 21st Century, photography is eclipsed by the art of playing with shadows, that is, video games, unleashing new cultural territory to explore, with the potential to discover meaningful metaphors that express our radically evolving world. For future generations, video games may become the most dynamic extension of cultural memory since photography was embraced as an art form. Players are currently practicing the fundamental basics of photography, as a cinematic, navigation tool, and in some cases, as a game objective, which is beginning to unlock new forms of shared, cultural expression. |
