FOUL PLAY.
The Art of Video Games exhibition will explore the 40‐year evolution of video games as an artistic medium, with a focus on striking visual effects, the creative use of new technologies, and the most influential artists and designers. A website (http://www.artofvideogames.org) offered participants a chance to vote for 80 games from a pool of 240 proposed choices in various categories, divided by era, game type and platform. Voting took place between February 14, 2011 and April 17, 2011.
The exhibition will be on display at the Smithsonian American Art Museum from March 16, 2012 through September 30, 2012 (http://www.americanart.si.edu/taovg).
