Summary : Super Mario Cloud


After discussing with classmates, we come up with some ideas.

We agree that Super Mario Cloud can be considered as an art work. Although Super Mario Cloud looks simple and meaningless, according to Cory Arcangel the movement of clouds represents the development of humans, communication and technologies. Therefore, Super Mario Cloud does have content. Art is one of the methods for the artist to express the
ir feeling. Even though Super Mario Cloud looks simple, it also expresses the artist’s feeling. Since Super Mario Cloud has content and it was created with purpose, therefore it is an artwork.

Besides, after the discussion, we all agree that Super Mario Cloud allows the players to experience the game in a new perspective. Some people said that Players could imagine that there were Mario, obstacles, princess...in Super Mario Cloud when they are playing the game. It is obvious that Super Mario Cloud allows player to experience a new game with new ideas. As a result, Super Mario Cloud can be regarded as an art work.

Some may think that Super Mario Cloud should not be regarded as an art work. It is because they always accustomed to an idea that art work should have content. However, it seems that Super Mario Cloud is meaningless. Therefore some people may not regard Super Mario Cloud as an art work. In fact, Super Mario Cloud is not as meaningless as they think. As I mentioned before, Super Mario Cloud represents the progression of humans, communication and technology. Therefore, Super Mario Cloud it is not fair to say that Super Mario Cloud is meaningless.
