WoW - Emergent Media Phenomenon














In :this link:, Turbulence exposits MMO players' artistic works which are derived from the Warcraft universe, specifically World of Warcraft. The article notes that gaming is an activity that encompasses a large population, and that it holds the potentiality for great impact on society.

:Here:, you can see more detail about what works of art made the exhibit. It's not suprising at all that a world as expansive as WoW can act as an influence for great visual design. I find some of the artwork (the sculpture above, in particular) to be rather astonishingly crafted. In my opinion, this is a great business link between marketing, and allowing developers to interact with their playerbase on a first-person level.
