The Sims Receives the High Art Treatment
'The Sims' is now the latest crossover from the world of video games to the world of high art. Like the I am 8-Bit exhibition, The Sims: In the Hands of Artists takes a fresh look at the world of popular video games and how we relate to them. It's part art exhibit, part student art competition (with a $12,000 grand prize for the best entry), and part multimedia extravaganza. The exhibit runs at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York from April 19 - May 12 and features art in various media that blends the video game world and reality. Real world scenes are punctured by Sims-styled thought bubbles or rendered to look like characters from the games. There are movies made in 'The Sims' game and even paintings and drawings that explore different aspects of 'The Sims' world and its connections to reality.
