“There is no Sleepy Hollow on the Internet, no peaceful spot where contemplativeness can work its restorative magic. There is only the endless, mesmerizing buzz of the urban street.” Nicholas Carr, from The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains (New York: Norton, 2010)

Blog #10: Lanscape in Video Games Part 4
Minecraft will be the last video game I talk about.
This game takes a unique approach to the environmental Aesthetics as well. In this game one uses the resources given to them in the natural environment to craft their own creations within the natural world. This provides a unique Aesthetic experience when one has to consciously think about how their use of the environment will be best used to create a new artificially constructed environment.
It is a very interesting way to think of environmental aesthetics. How will one use the environment around them in order to create a new environment. In the end this is how humanity actually uses the environment to construct our world. It is a very unique way to make one more aware of how our world is constructed from the environment.
