This project studies how artists shape the look, feel, and meaning of video games. It treats games as cultural works, not only as technology or entertainment, and focuses on artistic authorship and collaboration, and how artists with distinct styles influence studios and leave a clear signature on iconic games.
Â
The research reviews game history through selected titles remembered for their artistic character, examining how they were produced and their cultural impact.Â
​
This website is a research log that collects notes, case studies, ideas, and publications as the project develops, with the aim of sharing the process and inviting collaboration.
​
We are looking for artists, game developers, and players interested in the artistic side of video games to take part in short interviews or quick surveys.
