A DIGITALIZAÇÃO DA ARTE: A ARTE NOS JOGOS DIGITAIS

Abstract

This monograhic work aims to investigate if it is possible to build a relationship between digital games and art, aiming at deconstructing a common idea of building a digital game as a simple product of entertainment. As a basis, we use the concept of the game, from the ideas of Johan Huizinga in Homo Ludens, and the conception of art as game developed by Hans Georg Gadamer in his book Wahrheit und Methode. For this, we seek to identify the common characteristics between art anddigital games, and try to think how they relate to each other. In our study, we have observed that immersion and representation are present elements, both in the digital game and in art, enabling its constitution as an artistic product.
