Ned Beauman on TheBlogArt&Architecture raises one very good question: why not use art in computer/console video games and what artists could be placed in this context.
Well, I’de loooove a videogame based on characters of Bosch. It’s so surreal ( 
quite interesting for his age ) that would apply perfectly for our own time’s imagery.
Other artists that would be perfect are Arcimboldo, Dali; Gaugain would do nice for a 2d game, Mondrian would be interesting for a pacman :).
Also considered Warhol and Rauschenberg but they are too modern and too visually violent for me to play for hours …
One video game that uses art and play and I simply loooooooooove is Nintendo’s Electroplankton. Toshio Iwai is a good example of an artists that combines visual art and music in a commercial game.
