Just like the ending of ME3... Meaning if said artists wants to make a buck in the future! Then he might want to do some revisions... You know...

After THE ART OF GAMES at Aosta, NEOLUDICA ART IS A GAME at Biennale Venice 2011 and THE ART OF VIDEOGAMES at Smithsonian it was recognized that the world is a video game, a total bet on our future, in which video game as a medium, knowingly sprung from its own fiction, may finally get out of the mirror, like Alice, in order to express its thought on a society that has never been so stratified and complex. The two realities – which sum up to form one augmented reality – are very much alike and cannot do without one another. Artists, creators, developers and players are then called upon to step up in class, andto accept a confrontation that will be aesthetic as well as ethic, and therefore will bring upmore daydreams.Today more than ever we are moved by Lewis Mumford’s words from his 1934 essayTechnics and Civilization: “Thanks to machines, we now have a chance to understand a worldwe contributed to create.” In Italy the videogame is art and is exhibited in museums: http://www.museoscienza.org/english/activities/assassins-creed/ http://neoludica.blogspot.it/2011/02/archetypes-and-landscapes-post.html http://www.prlog.org/11733478-neoludica-art-is-game-2011-1966-art-meets-videogames.html The MOMA has done the right thing.
