Trigger Happy
videogames continue to plough clichÉd visual and formal ruts, they will furnish the anomic mental landscape of an impoverished and unimaginative future generation, not only of artists but of people in general.
Which is why it is so important for videogames to continue aiming at creative revolution, in any number of wonderful and strange directions. The story of the inner life of videogames is not just a disinterested analysis; it’s a challenge, a gauntlet. For it is an inevitable consequence of their extraordinary success that videogames will shape the worlds that we all inhabit tomorrow.
