Robert Yang (Chinese: 杨若波) is an academic, artist, and indie video game developer, whose work often explores gay subculture and the boundary between video games and art. His work focuses particularly on sociologically deviant and sometimes illegal sexual behavior. His projects include Borges adaptation Intimate, Infinite and The Tearoom, a game that involves soliciting sex in a public toilet. He is a former member of faculty at NYU Tisch School of the Arts's Game Center and curated their annual indie game exhibition in 2015.[1]
Yang was also featured in the 2018 documentary Unforeseen Consequences: A Half-Life Documentary, created by Noclip, due to his work on the popular Half-Life Source remake, Black Mesa.[2]
