Will Wright does the Krazy Dance

Gamasutra has a neat article up about Will Wright, Spore and art - it was taken from Will Wright’s speech at Vancouver’s Krazy exhibition. You can read it here. Here’s a short snippet:

For his part, Wright is more optimistic. “I do believe that games can be a form of artistic expression,” he said, “a co-collaboration between player and designer. We have yet to prove we can do meaningful things with this form of expression, but I believe we are at the cusp of a Cambrian explosion of possibilities [referencing the geological era in which complex life flourished]. We are a couple years away from being respected as a form of expression, but it’s not a battle we need to fight. We’ll win anyway.”
