The Art of Failure: An Essay on the Pain of Playing Video Games
We may think of video games as being "fun," but in "The Art of Failure," Jesper Juul claims that this is almost entirely mistaken
When we play video games, our facial expressions are rarely those of happiness or bliss
Instead, we frown, grimace, and shout in frustration as we lose, or die, or fail to advance to the next level
Humans may have a fundamental desire to succeed and feel competent, but game players choose to engage in an activity in which they are nearly certain to fail and feel incompetent
So why do we play video games even though they make us unhappy? Juul examines this paradox
In video games, as in tragic works of art, literature, theater, and cinema, it seems that we want to experience unpleasantness even if we also dislike it
Reader or audience reaction to tragedy is often explained as catharsis, as a purging of negative emotions
But, Juul points out, this doesn't seem to be the case for video game players
Games do not purge us of unpleasant emotions
they produce them in the first place
What, then, does failure in video game playing do? Juul argues that failure in a game is unique in that when you fail in a game, you (not a character) are in some way inadequate
Yet games also motivate us to play more, in order to escape that inadequacy, and the feeling of escaping failure (often by improving skills) is a central enjoyment of games
Games, writes Juul, are the art of failure: the singular art form that sets us up for failure and allows us to experience it and experiment with it
"The Art of Failure" is essential reading for anyone interested in video games, whether as entertainment, art, or education.
