  'Art' (play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Art' (the quotation marks are part of the title) is a comedic play by Yasmina Reza, which raises questions about art and friendship.
The scenes are in three different locations - the flats of the three characters - but the stage directions specify that they are all to be "as stripped down and neutral as possible", and that between them "nothing changes, except for the painting on the wall".
At the beginning and end of the play, and for most of the scenes set in Serge's flat, the large white painting (referred to as "the Antrios", that being the name of the painter) is on prominent show.

The Grammar of Play and the Play of Grammar
Speech play is the manipulation of elements and components of language in relation to one another, in relation to the social and cultural contexts of language use, and against the backdrop of other verbal possibilities in which it is not foregrounded.
Play, especially the juxtaposition of languages and verbal forms in various ways, is thus a major source of aesthetic creativity and innovation, in both oral and literate traditions.

Roll_The_Bones: Theodor Adorno on Art and Play VII
In art, play is from the outset disciplinary; it fulfills the taboo on expression that inheres in the ritual of imitation; when art exclusively plays, nothing remains of expression.
Secretly, play is in complicity with fate, a plenipotentiary of the weight of the mythical, which art would like to throw off; the repressive aspect is obvious in such phrases as that of the rhythm of the blood, with which the formal playfulness of dance is so readily invoked.

 Games, Poetry, Art, Play, and Arteroids 2.02 by Jim Andrews
Violence in computer games is sometimes a dramatic representation, as it is in books, films, plays (quite a bit of gore in King Lear, for example) of meaningful conflict in which the forces of good and evil—and maybe even some shades of gray—engage in their process of realization and resolution.
Play is a crucial factor, also, in considering the relations between art and game.
However, in software art, what happens is that a piece of work goes through several development phases, each of which results in a 'finished' work, just like Word 1 was 'finished': it was functional and a complete thing unto itself, anyway, but was fated obviously for further development.
