Video Games as an Art Form

Do you consider video games to be nothing more than idle entertainment? Or do you see them as promoting brain rot, or, worse, encouraging violent or worse behavior? In this talk, Noah Lin encourages us to leave these common assumptions about video games behind. How, he asks, can a form of media that combines cinematography, psychology, creative writing, acting, computer programming, political and social commentary, huge bounds of technical innovation, and immersive and personal interactivity, not be called art? By walking us through some especially impactful games, Lin hopes his TEDx Talk will expand our horizons.
