the box? the neat package? the plastic wrapper? the presentation?
what makes people consistantly buy mass-produced products? games are a good example, but i'm talking generally about things you see in shops that are packaged and sold in quantities.
and why don't i feel the same when i'm in an art gallery. i don't want the art works... but is that because they'd be too expensive, or because they're simply intended to look around and view. if a game was in an art gallery, and not in the shops, would we just treat it like any other instilation or art work? would it change our perception?
