I find it very amusing that not only was Blow Ya Nose customs not involved in the biggest custom shoe exhibit of all time, but their application was rejected due to the poor quality of their work. We were also within a mile of their store, and other customizers described byn’s work as “a joke.” I almost feel as though I shouldn’t compete against them in our impending contest…
Games, a creative form “older than culture,” according to Johan Huizinga, have served humanity in such diverse ways as entertainment, education, exercise, conflict resolution, ritual and self-expression. But not until the 20th century did games and the play experiences they provide start to be perceived as an art form as well. With nods to the past and future, and with an open acknowledgment of all the awkwardness, bravado and measured successes thus far, The Art History of Games seeks to more clearly articulate the importance of games as a form of art.
The Art History of Games is a three-day public symposium in which members of the fields of game studies, art history and related areas of cultural studies gather to investigate games as an art form. Also featured in the conference is the premiere of three commissioned art games. The designers will exhibit their work and participate in the colloquy.

Now THIS is what I am talking about. Very well done. Missed opportunity again in that he could’ve done some creative things with it, but good nonetheless.
