Violent video gaming made chilling
Filed under Media + Technology + Web
You owe it to yourself to spend the next 4 minutes or so watching this clip. Photographer Robbie Cooper has a series of video captures (beautifully lit, I might add) of kids and young teens playing video games. Titled “Immersion”, one possible way to interpret the video is a damnation of the incredible magnetism of violent, borderline pornographic realistic video-games out today, and more importantly, the impact such immersion has on today’s youth. There are some particularly chilling, almost scary, clips, but the one that drove it home for me was the wide-eyed youngster in the Nike uni… no flinching from that one.
