Abstract

This paper seeks to clarify the ambiguities at the overlap of electronic art and computer games by reconceptualising the play-element evident in both as not only a set of stylistic and creative strategies which we might approximate as “playfulness” but also as a material affordance of a particular kind of audience engagement, which is referred to as “playability”.
