An exploration of the relationship between games and art that examines the ways that both gamemakers and artists create game-based artworks. Games and art have intersected at least since the early twentieth century, as can be seen in the Surrealists' use of Exquisite Corpse and other games, Duchamp's obsession with Chess, and Fluxus event scores and boxes—to name just a few examples. Over the past fifteen years, the synthesis of art and games has clouded for both artists and gamemakers. Contemporary art has drawn on the tool set of videogames, but has not considered them a cultural form with its own conceptual, formal, and experiential affordances. For their part, game developers and playe...

In 1802 John Sharp and his wife Margaret Blain Sharp, with all their worldly goods, and hopes for the future, departed Rawley Springs, Rockingham County, Virginia with their eleven children, and crossed the mountains for the "Wilds of Pocahontas County". The book documents the next 200 hundred years of the toil, successes, and the contributions of this family to Pocahontas County and the rest of the world. Chapters 1 through 3 discuss the history that led to John and Margaret's migration, their subsequent lives and ultimate passing. Chapter 4 sets the environmental and community parameters into which the Sharp family moved, lived and prospered. Chapter 5 is the genealogical histories of John and Margaret's children, punctuated with individual curiosities, accomplishments and downfalls. Fully indexed, the potential ancestor of the 6500 descendants and spouses included in the book is in easily determined. A major hope is that living descendants of John and Margaret will supplement this initial effort, leading to a much more robust and complete volume. This is strongly encouraged by the authors.
