The inclusion of game elements in media provides great potential and artistic challenges. This project aims to understand and explore the potential and artistic challenges opened by the inclusion of elements of game in the media. We will try to study conceptual aspects, with a focus on the action, that help us to understand how the player gets involved with the game system, studying later the convergences of this involvement with what is developed with musical instruments.This way, through the perspective of an action-based structure, it is intended to reuse very particular components of video games to allow a form of artistic expression.The purpose of this project aims to understand the possibilities of using game elements in the artistic-musical context and intends to develop audiovisual tools using rapid prototyping software of musical interactions.The methodology used in this study was guided by a literature review, followed by an experiment and data collection.This contextualization and data analysis allowed us to obtain a series of implications that should be considered in future work.
