Abstract

This chapter explores some of the areas of intersection between videogames and both digital and non-digital art practice. By looking at examples of art practice drawn from videogames, it outlines some of the categories and so provides an overview of this area, placing it within the wider context of contemporary and historical art practice. The chapter explores the tendency for mucyh of this work to have elements of subversion or "détournement" whilst also identifying areas of tension in the appropriation of videogames as material for art practice.
