The art game as an entity will be examined in relation to ideas of the ‘interactive’ and ‘play’, and the implications and potential for fine art practice will be investigated. How to Read by Eckhard Gerdes (): Eckhard Gerdes: Books - Amazon.ca. Two examples of art games, both from different categories will be examined and critiqued in the context of Artistic Computer Game Modification – A 3D game called Escape From Woomera and an art mod or patch called SOD. It will also situate art games within an historical context, both within the commercial computer game field as well as the digital art field and attempt to establish some sort of timeline within which we can see the development and emergence of art games in relation to these two disciplines. It will identify the leading theorists within the field, and take into account their definitions whilst at the same time establishing a set of categories within which can be defined the dominant trends in the development of the field. This essay will explore the existing definitions of art games that are currently being used in the art game/art mod genre.

No claim to exhaustiveness can be made I will simply discuss a number of publications I am aware of that analyze comics and cartoons from a perspective inspired by Cognitive Linguistics (CL), specifically by Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and Blending Theory (BT). In this chapter I will report on cognitivist-oriented work done in the area of comics and cartoons – the latter here considered as standalone varieties of comics that humorously criticize people (often politicians) and events in the world.
