The course focuses on the multi-layered relationship between digital games and the broader field of art. Starting from the theoretical traditions of digital games and game studies, we will study the convergences, discontinuities, and new areas of artistic expression that have emerged. In this context, we will explore how the culture of digital games has influenced art production, how contemporary art converses with different cultural forms, and the role of official institutions. The term digital games, on the other hand, refers to experimental games and playful interactions, includes their software and hardware, and focuses on how their integral elements, such as game mechanics, have changed the field of art.
