Sega’s soon-to-be-released video game “Shenmue,” has been in production for 6 years and cost millions to design. But will it turn any heads in the art world? “There is no real concept of the video game artist, and hence no one to wax pretentious about their work. Games will at some point become more a point for artists to gather about and discuss in the way that they now make work relating to film and cinema.” – The Times (UK) 05/19/00
