Post internet art isn't only being able to create something on the Web but also have that second level of including of what the effects that come from technology and the internet has in society and people.
Post internet art is different because it allows itself to be self-aware of the major impact technology itself has on people and it's able to use those facts towards what is trying to be portrayed, even if it's not just clearly stated.
Along with that post-internet art touches on the way that things sometimes might not be what they appear to be and the way that this in a way manipulates the perspective of the viewer and what we perceive. All of this can be seen in the video "How Not To Be Seen".
With installation art, the combination of mixed media and multimedia art brings different things to the table. Mixed media uses different kinds of materials allowing the artist to show different textures, etc. With multimedia not only are different materials used in the art but things such as dance, visual art, and audio may be included.
Video games can include all types of art styles and mediums in digital art, as all can be played i different vessels such as PC, gaming console, etc. Popular genres in video game sincluse FPS in which games such as Call or Duty and Halo allow the gamer to have a first person perspective in which most players choose multiplayer as they are able to play with mulpitple people around the world. With RPG games players are able to have a fictional experience to a game allowing the player to have missions and different ways in which the player can choose to play inside the game. Different genres allow players to experience all kinds of ways to play and learn new skills through a simple or complex game. With all of these graphics and reality can be mixed as reality can be used in order to shape a game. As all kinds of art styles can be portrayed through video games a wide variety of exploration to what can be done in the video game world. As the popularity of video games began to reach its peak some artists began to question if these forms are actually art. This can be argued since video games, just like paintings and cultures can include a variety of displayed art such as textures, cut scenes, stills, and voice over which are all considered part of multimedia art.

"How Not To Be Seen"
In the video, the artist is portraying the message of how easily people can disappear and the way that the internet can hide those behind it, and by being there you can still not be there. Along with the fact that we can't truly see what goes on behind a camera from the way in which the artwork or video can be manipulated to show something that might not even be there or change something that the artist might not like. The artist of the video also discusses the way in which people in certain situations can "disappear" or be hidden from others, from a gated community to a woman over fifty.

Are Video Games Art?
Video games are art because just like how very other form of at its main focus is to elicit emotion or entertain the person who is the "viewer" or player. Video games can take something that is known just like "Gof of War" in which norse mythology is explored in an artistic way by giving the player a way to put themselves in that world. The player being able to interact with this allows them to see the different details that are inside the game itself, from the texture of their surrounding, to the sounds that come from a rock hitting a wall or two characters having a conversation. Brining together all of these things allow video games to become multimedia art in itself. Along with the fact that there is an artist behind every video game that allow it to come into existence creatively.
