Is it reasonable to consider computer games as art?

a) How does Adams define art? Do you agree with his definition?
Adams thought that there are library art, like writing and drama. Then the fine arts: sculpture and painting, music and dance. There are also the decorative arts: wallpaper, fabrics and furnishings. And Adams also says that the boundaries between art and non-art are not hard and fast. Also Art has been considered to be self-expressive and thus a spontaneous act that has no formulaic characteristic.
On one hand, I agree with his definition, because he said all the part of art is right, but on the other hand, the art is not only he said in the traditional way for our modern city, we should add the more definitions about the art, the street arts and some art from our simple life.
b) According to Adams, what is needed for videogames to be considered as art?
According to Adams, the interactivity preclude art is needed for videogames to be considered as art, that art is a form of communication from the artist to viewer starts to interfere.

Playing video games

According to the film, what are some pros and cons of playing videogames for individuals and societies?
I have to say Different games may have different pros and cons.
Cons:
Firstly, I think playing videogames playing video games will harm our physical health; but some games are opposite to this, it may help people do some exercises.
For example, the game called Dance Dance Revolution helps players burn extra pounds while they are playing. As players follow the beat of the song associated with the game, they face the screen to move on a 3-foot square platform with an arrow on each side of the square – pointing up, down, left, and right.
Secondly, if someone loses himself in the videogame, they may waste much time to study or work. And people may get violence in their real life.
Thirdly. If we take much time to play the videogames it affects our study negatively. For example, you can see the dialogue below for a mother and a child.
“Honey, I have signed you up for advanced math and social science classes in this summer, so you will have something to do,” Mother tells her 12-year-old son. “Can I play some video games with my friends?” her son asks. “I think you don’t want to waste your time on that.” This conversation between a mother and her son implies that parents believe that video games are the cause of children studying less. They claim that the fewer video games children play, the more they achieve in the future. Although parents believe playing games has a negative influence on their children, some evidence shows that playing video games yields positive results.

Pros:
When we play the videogame which can help us improve our thinking and inspiration. That is good for us.
According the film, is there any evidence that digital games can encourage aggressive values and anti-social actions in the real world? Do you agree?
Yeah, I think there is really any evidence that digital games can encourage aggressive values and anti-social actions in the real world.
Should governments have the right to ban certain games? Why or why not?
Maybe the governments should ban games the games which has negative effects to our body.
I have already said the cons in the first question, and different games may have different pros and cons. So we need to know what kind of games is good for us and what is not. And then the governments can use come policy to ban the games.

Technologies bodies in art

Which artist’s work do you find the most interesting?

In accordance with Stelarc Exoskeleton’s work, I feel very fantastic about it. Not only weirdness about Stelarc Exoskeleton’s work, but I also find that it is impossible to the art in our bodies. Because of these reasons, I am quite interested in his work.

Describe one work by that artist in detail, and explain, what is interesting about it.

Artist, Stelarc is renowned for his augmented body art forms. Here he has built a giant spider like walking frame.

He tried to use a suspension type to show his body. He use lifting hook to let himselves hang in the sky. He did it in different place every time. And he calls this posture of indifference.

I feel very amazed that he did this posture of indifference in this way without shed blood. He can use his third hand to control his body. And also he can let his body move or not move in anyway. He just needs to take care of his muscle into the lifting hook.

In Japan, he uses his signal of his muscles to control his body and then move his body up and down. The acting played last 30 minutes.I think he is very smart to do in this way. And I have not seen in this way in china mainland.

Tencent Commercials

I'm QQ is Tencent's first real English website to introduce QQ to English speakers. The English QQ versions were always hidden on a Chinese page and this made it very difficult for foreigners to get started. To help people get started, I created a personal page with signup information and last year an English page was launched to promote Tencent Messenger 2008. With I'mQQ.com this is taken another big step forward. It's now easier than ever for foreigners to register a QQ account and to find out what QQ is all about.

Constructing Identity Online

 

There are many Identities online that I have already used, such as MSN, facebook, renren, QQ, Fetion, e-mail and so on.
MSN and QQ can help me talk with people at home, and I can see my family and friends on the internet. They are also help me to send files on the internet.Fetion has some commons with MSN and QQ.But there is one different from them that is it can sent message to people’s telephone number. Renren and Facebook are the same Identity online .they are all help us to meet classmates and friends online.
Online identity has given people the opportunity to feel comfortable and freedom in wide-ranging roles, some of which may be underlying aspects of the user's life that the user is unable to portray in the real world. This freedom results in new opportunities for society as a whole, especially the ability for people to explore the roles of gender and sexuality in a manner that can be harmless, yet interesting and helpful to those undertaking the change.
