What would be the video game equivalent of Duchamp's Fountain?

My thinking is something like a copy of WinRAR submitted to the IGF along with instructions on how to play it as a game. Imo it has to be a "found object" of a utilitarian type that gets recontextualized into a game. We don't really have the museum or gallery equivalent that automatically makes anything in it Art, which is why I think you need the instructions to make it "playable", combined with the IGF submission (a public process that is maybe the closest thing to an Official Stamp of Game that has an open submission). But I'm not sure! Maybe I missed something important...

Someone already did this, it turns out

One of the comments pointed me to Fountain 1917: https://somnolentsucculentstudio.itch.io/fountain-1917

i think the rejection from Steam is when this project really came together

especially since before i even started, i told @atomicthumbs

the only really funny outcome is if steam is like "this isn't a video game, you didn't make this, fuck off"

there's a video game i think about a lot called SPACE TRUCKER which was on steam but has since been taken down because it was made entirely out of stolen assets, mainly from the horrible tekwar video game. this is not quite found object art but submitting something to steam that you don't own but just found lying around is probably the closest thing i can imagine

Excel spreadsheet turned into a scavenger hunt type thing? Or a shitton of conditional formatting?

After some thinking, I would assert that Venetian Blinds would be the Duchamp's urinal of video games.

Originally created as a technology demo, the software was exhibited privately in a discussion about trade secrets in programming. In 2010, Activision published it on Microsoft's Game Room shop for $3, declaring it to be a video game for sale.

This is amazing, thank you

the "some interactive software made to be utilitarian but enjoyed and considered as an art object" idea reminded me of that 3d house scan tour thing that went up in 2020. I remember playing through that space with my friends.

oh my god no notes, 10/10, flawless concept, perfect execution, absolutely split my sides with this, also easily one of my favorite video games of 2023.

thing is blender, source filmmaker, and other various tools are on steam. they could've just changed the category

💤🌵🤖@cactus11/24/2023, 7:24 PM

I mean. for one, I changed the about dialog to say it's a video game, for two, I think Blender would've been listed on Steam actually by the Blender Foundation instead of by some random jackass, and for three, that would've completely ruined the point
