- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Fri, 13 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The global video game industry is larger than the TV, movie, streaming, and music industries combined. Yet despite their wild popularity, video games are rarely taken seriously as an art form or object of deep reflection.

Join us for a journey through the morality, meaning, and art of video games. What can video games tell us about the human experience? Do video games ruin our minds, or make us smarter? How can we interact with them as art? In a time when technology is rapidly transforming politics, society, and education, get a new perspective on how the largest entertainment medium can change—and even improve—our lives.
