Robbie Cooper is a British artist working in photography, video and 3D. In 2008 he began his project ‘Immersion’ in which he filmed people’s faces as they watched TV, played video games and using the internet.

I think violent games such as Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty do affect behaviour and can be linked to criminality.
