Crap, the poll question is obviously the thread name.

If a messy bed can win an art prize, Video games can be art too.

Unquestionably yes.
What is art.
<NEW FIC!> Revolution #9: Somewhere out there, there's a universe in which your mistakes and failures never happened, and all you wished for is true. How hard would you fight to make that real?

it's when you see/hear/feel something and your heart goes dokidoki

Oh I'm sure they would explain it beautifully. But after four years of learning about different and equally correct definitions of art, I fear their toil would be wasted on me.

Depending on the theory one chooses to accept, videogames can be art, or they absolutely can't, or only some aspects of them, or only some games and not others.
I think the most useful solution to having different and equally correct definitions of art is to prefer one to another and go with it, because the concept is kinda fundamental in culture and can't be avoided.
I.e., whatisart is a copout answer that I included only because this is a shit poll in the first place.
Some videogames have artistic value.
My attempts at being a (fanfic) writer:
Eclipse - a Saber Alter oneshot
Requiem for a Race - Altrouge and Ortenrosse hunt the TAs ( 1/3 chapters, discontinued )
Memories of a King - a 'Saber Origins' story ( 8/? chapters, discontiuned )
A Small Warmth - a post UBW-Good oneshot, Saber/Rin
Devil's Thrill - Narbareck hunts down a DAA Blackmore ( 10/10 chapters, finished )
Boundary of Loneliness - Ryougi Shiki/Alphard Al-Shua oneshot. Lemon-flavoured
art is art, literature is art, singing is art, and everything is art.
Spoiler:
I think "are videogames art" is a bit of an outdated and kinda pointless question. A better question is: are videogames culture?

My face is art.
nah, but culture does have influence on videogames
Spoiler:
Well, it can't be avoided. Which is precisely why it's a subject of so much discussion. A concept blindly accepted and adhered to, which never changes or reinvents itself, is as good as dead.
That said, I do think videogames can have artistic value, but there are maybe, like, five games in total that applies to.

Is washing dishes art?
This answer is a bit of a problem because it does not differentiate between the whole and its elements. That video games can contain elements that have artistic merit is not a controversial claim. Whether the work as a whole can be deemed artistic is the big question.
The distinction between art and game is usually quite clear cut. Although there are definitions for both that can overlap.
Yes, but they're generally very bad at it.
