Which concept states that the actions of the artist are the artwork; video games have an element of performance art because the actions of the players are shown cinematically?
Correct Answer:
Performance Art
Explanation:
Performance art treats the artist’s actions as the artwork itself. In this approach, the performance—the live movements, presence, and process of the artist or participants—becomes the piece, often existing in time rather than as a fixed object. Video games align with this idea because the experience is driven by the players’ actions, and those actions are presented cinematically within the game, making the performative act of playing an art form in itself. The other terms don’t capture this emphasis on action as the artwork: Kehinde Wiley is known for portrait painting, not performance; Convergence refers more to blending media rather than the performative act; Pattern describes a visual arrangement, not the dynamic, performative process.
