Nintendo dan Spore Mendapat Jim Henson Award

Jim Henson Company, perusahaan milik almarhum Jim Henson si pencipta The Muppets dan Sesame Street, tiap tahunnya memberikan penghargaan bagi individu atau organisasi yang visi dan misinya sejalan dengan almarhum Jim Henson: kreatif, inovatif, dan menginspirasi orang lain.

Tahun ini, yang mendapat kehormatan itu adalah Shigeru Miyamoto dan Spore. Shigeru Miyamoto adalah desainer game-game terkenal Nintendo seperti Mario dan Donkey Kong, sementara Spore adalah game PC simulasi (semacam The Sims), di mana kita bisa mengembangbiakkan ‘alien’, mulai dari hewan bersel satu hingga menjadi peradaban yang maju.

clipped from kotaku.com “The recipients of this year’s Jim Henson Honors demonstrate true creativity and commitment to innovation,” said Brian Henson. “They have raised the bar in their respective fields, from Shigeru Miyamoto’s groundbreaking work fusing entertainment and technology at Nintendo, to the Center for Puppetry Arts’ dedication to enriching lives through arts education, this year’s honorees, who so strongly reflect the traditions of The Jim Henson Company.” “Each of this year’s recipients inspired us in different ways,” said Lisa Henson. “In addition to Shigeru Miyamoto and the Center for Puppetry Arts, we also honor the visual brilliance and topicality of street artist Shepard Fairey, who tapped into a generation’s profound desire for change, and the incredibly imaginative and provocative world of Spore. Varied and vast in terms of their impact, this year’s four honorees are true models of originality, innovation and ingenuity. It is a privilege to honor their outstanding work.”
