Exhibition: Games and Art – Nobunaga's Ambition / Koei Tecmo's Ambition – The Birth of Interactive Art
Summary
This exhibition is part of a global movement that reconsiders video games from an artistic perspective, following institutions like MoMA in New York that have classified games as "playable design" and "interactive art experiences" since 2012. Centered on Koei Tecmo’s historical simulation series Nobunaga’s Ambition, the show attempts to reassess the games not merely as entertainment or commercial products but as works of high design. By treating the interactive experience gained through play as an "artistic experience = appreciation," the exhibition delves into the artistic qualities of the series, thereby illuminating a new relationship between games and visual arts.
