Smithsonian American Art Museum
The Art of Video Games

Call for images!

 

The Art of Video Games exhibition (opening March 16, 2012) will explore how game designers combine visual effects with narrative, audio, and player interaction to create immersive and meaningful experiences.

To celebrate this ground-breaking exhibition, we are looking for photographs that show how video games can inspire creativity! These might include images of video-game-inspired drawings, paintings, sculptures, jewelry, clothing, events, graphics, food, wallpaper... anything, really! We're particularly interested in seeing creative and crazy costumes inspired by your favorite game characters.  

 

We've created a Flickr group to collect all of these images, which we're hoping will continue to grow through the run of the exhibition and beyond. Please add your photographs to this group and help us spread the word!
