so be sure to vote for games that you think are visually spectacular or boast innovative design!
In other words be sure to vote for a bunch of crappy games which totally misses the point of a video game art exhibition considering the gameplay is as much of the art as the visuals.
I appreciate the link, I'm just saying... the Smithsonian just doesn't get it.

I agree. I sent them an email about how ignoring arcade games pretty much invalidates the whole "art" exhibit, since arcade games are where the real innovation and techniques were established.

Huh? I had to read that over a couple of times to grasp what they wanted.
Probably set up by an archivist that knows nothing about games that was convinced to do so by a apprentice that still lives in his basement with mommy and has done nothing but play console games all day.
Same thing happened at my old job where a student convinced everyone to dump the entire digital archives into the "cloud". Good idea on maintenance but retrieval and ownership is a ---smurfette---.

You have to register to even see the games. I don't think so.
