The EGL

Mission Statement

Mission
The Experimental Game Lab (EGL), housed in the School of Literature, Communication and Culture’s Digital Media Program, is an interdisciplinary research community comprised of groups and individuals engaged in a broad array of experimentation that brings together humanities, computer science, design and the arts through a unique blend of theory and practice. Our aim is to investigate and extend the expressive capabilities of games, to foster critical analysis, and to better understand and influence the role of video games in culture.
