While video games are undeniably informed by the cultural and artistic traditions that precede them, this article outlines how video games can inform contemporary painting by discussing how a practice-led integration of video games that analogises art practice as gameplay can facilitate a pluralistic approach to storytelling. The story explored here was informed by my reflections on prior encounters of cross-cultural collaboration as informed by a dialogic approach to difference. Further, through a dialogic perspective that challenges oppositional thinking, the material and digital are positioned together at an intersection explored through painting-led dialogue. The article explores how integration and intersection are effective sources of creativity and a practical approach to challenging a practitioner’s familiar ways of thinking and making. I aim to encourage other practitioners to critically reflect on their influences to explore their own unique integrations.
