Digital games are important not only because of their cultural ubiquity or their sales figures but for what they can offer as a space for creative practice. These and a whole host of other issues are significant not only to the game designer but also present in the work of the artist that thinks and rethinks games.

Digital games are important not only because of their cultural ubiquity or their sales figures but for what they can offer as a space for creative practice. Games are significant for what they embody; human computer interface, notions of agency, sociality, visualisation, cybernetics, representation, embodiment, activism, narrative and play. These and a whole host of other issues are significant not only to the game designer but also present in the work of the artist that thinks and rethinks games. Re-appropriated for activism, activation, commentary and critique within games and culture, artists have responded vigorously.
