Abstract

U današnjem dobu, videoigre, nakon više od pedeset godina svojeg postojanja, više nisu samo predmet zabave male skupine populacije, već postaju masovni fenomen u kojem na dnevnoj bazi uživaju milijuni ljudi diljem svijeta. Od nekoć vizualno jednostavnih videoigara koje su se igrale na osciloskopima, a kasnije na arkadnim uređajima, pa sve do današnjih igraćih konzola i računala, videoigre su doživjele neočekivano brz i jak razvoj koji je u potpunosti promijenio način zabave, ali i otvorio put... More prema novim oblicima umjetničkog izražavanja. S obzirom na ogromnu zainteresiranost javnosti, videoigre prodiru u akademske krugove gdje postaju predmetom proučavanja. Otvaraju se brojne institucije za njihovo proučavanje, pokreću se časopisi, organiziraju se tribine i konferencije o njima i tako dalje. Filozofija također nije iznimka u tom pokušaju da obuhvati, razumije i objasni fenomen koji je zahvatio svijet. Videoigrama se može pristupiti iz brojnih filozofskih pozicija. U ovome diplomskom radu, videoigre ću objasniti kao umjetnički fenomen, odnosno tvrdit ću da neke videoigre mogu biti umjetnost zbog svojih brojnih umjetničkih kvaliteta, a cijelu svoju studiju utemeljit ću u suvremenim teorijama filozofije umjetnosti i filozofske estetike. Kroz rad ću pokazivati da struktura videoigara ne može biti diskvalificirajući faktor kada govorimo o njima kao o umjetničkim djelima. Less

Abstract (english)

Today, video games are, after more than fifty years of their existence, not only an object of entertainment of the small group of population, but are turning into a massive phenomenon in which millions of people are enjoying it every day. From visually simple video games which were played on oscilloscopes, and later on arcade machines, to the contemporary game consoles and personal computers, video games lived up to unexpectedly fast and strong development which changed the way of having... More fun, but also made a way for a new form of artistic expression. Considering the big impact on the population, video games are entering into academic circles where they are becoming objects of study. Numerous institutions are opening up and they are dedicated towards studying video games, with many journals and conferences that are backing them up. Philosophy is not an exception when it comes to comprehension and explanation of this phenomena which conquered the
world. They can be approached through various different philosophical ways. In this text, I will explain video games as an art phenomena. In other words, I will claim that some video games can be artworks because of their artistic qualities, and my whole study will be based on contemporary theories of philosophy of art and aesthetics. Through the text I will show that their structure cannot be a disqualifying factor when it comes to their artwork status. Less
