The museum argues that developers put a tremendous amount of artistic work into their video games, and that they are on par with other visual art forms. With Press Play: The Art of Digital Games, the Permanenten hopes to display proof for those arguments.
Press Play will primarily focus on Nordic games designed for PCs (see Funcom's Dreamfall artwork slated for the exhibition after the break), representing both established game producers and independent studios. It will also show off classic titles to demonstrate "the genre's historical development."
The show will also feature a special exhibit-exclusive game about the history of video computer games, which attendees will be able to play. Organizers for Press Play note that the Bergen Public Library in Str�mgaten will have a designated area where people can try out other exhibited games.
