Article Excerpt:

Creators that were at the forefront of the early video game revolution are now the focus in a fascinating 10-part documentary web series, The Artists, now streaming on CBC. 

 The series offers a deep-dive look into the relatively undocumented first three decades of video game history, through the lens of the designers, developers and programmers that lay the groundwork to redefine pop culture as we know it.

The Artists also investigates the intersection of creativity and technology, approaching specific games from this era as one would explore a seminal film. For a massive audience, video games are films of the 21st century, their primary source for storytelling. How did that happen?
