Smithsonian Museum Will Host Video Game Art Exhibit in 2012
Despite what Roger Ebert has said about video games not being art, The Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. will host an entire exhibition next year dedicated to the medium. ‘The Art of Video Games,’ which runs from March 16th, 2012 to September 9th, will feature interviews with several artists and developers, game footage spanning 40 years, a thorough history of gaming consoles, and even some playable consoles for visitors.

By visiting The Art of Video Games website, you can vote for 80 games out of a group of 240 candidates, which are divided by era, game type and platform.

Italian designer Francesca Castagnacci made a pair of heels fit for any girl—or at least any girl who’s serious about her bandwidth. They’re made from strands of fiber optics as thin as human hair and lit by a LED.
