There are seven arts and many other aspiring to the title of 8th, 9th, 10th .... art. Cooking art, art of conversation, the art of being human and many others.

Ever since movie got the 7th art title, every domain actually wants a piece of the word art.

But what I think will be a succes in the artistic field is the game industry. It may sound far-fetched. But think about it. It might be considered the newest branch of cinema, just waiting to be recognized. They look more and more like interactive movies than everything else.

I’m not sure if you have played the newest computer games (and I don’t mean pacman and snake), but nowodays they employ scriptwriters, directors, designers and all kinds of documentarists to make the story more interesting.

They are making the new urban mythology.

BioShock is based on a novel by Ayn Rand, and it has a complex philosophy as a motivation.

For Assasin’s Creed they had as documentarists a few of the best historians at the National Museum, and they „reconstructed” the old Damasc as it used to be.

Oblivion’s environment was conceived by geologs.

The concept artists are obviously tallented painters, and there is a big team of artists behind the games industry.
