Why NOT Games? The Case for Games as Art | Xufan (Echo) Zhou | TEDxWuxi Big Bridge Academy Youth

Xufan challenges the prejudice against video games, arguing they are the ninth great art alongside painting and music. He details the immense craftsmanship behind game creation, the unparalleled immersion games bring to players, and how they record era-specific culture and spirit—like Animal Crossing connecting people during the pandemic. He makes a compelling case for games as a meaningful, artistic medium. Echo is a high school student who serves as a subject representative, a member of the Student Union, and a school club president, and also a dedicated gamer with a penchant for delving into the artistic side of games. Having immersed herself in diverse game genres—from indie narrative gems to open-world epics—Echo has developed a thoughtful perspective on the artistic connotations of video games. It is her sincere wish to share insights into why games deserve to be regarded as a unique interactive art form, and to invite more people to perceive the profound value behind this creative medium This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
