The Art History of Games Symposium was a three day long event in Georgia last February where a bunch of smart minds in the games industry gathered to talk about the art in their medium. The sessions during the event are now posted online for everyone to see.

Watch them here, and bask in the wonder of games scholars and developers.

Speakers at the event included Jason Rohrer: creator of Passage and Sleep is Death; Brenda Brathwaite: creator of the Wizardry series; and John Romero: creator of Doom, Quake, and Daikatana.

Once again, the videos can be found here.

Ian Bogost, teacher at Georgia Tech and author of such books like Persuasive Games and Unit Operations, was one of the major facilitators of the event. His latest game, Cow Clicker has started to achieve a cult following with its Farmville-parodying antics.

A final time, the videos can be found here. Check them out, and listen to some of the smartest discussions about games around.
