Art Meets Geek in Pac-Man

Posted by Zonk on from the wakka-wakka-wakka dept.

AnCatDubh writes "The New York Times (reg required) is running an article about online art-game hybrid Pac-Mondrian. From the article: "Why is Pac-Mondrian attracting more art types than gaming types? Maybe it's because Pac-Mondrian has more to say about Mondrian's painting than about Pac-Man." Are classic video games the new decontructionist tool?"

    The music alone makes it worth playing. Even if it wasn't particularly challenging, this was great fun. These guys are brilliant! Boogie piano is perfect for arcade games!

    Why is Pac-Mondrian attracting more art types than gaming types? Maybe it's because Pac-Mondrian is just plain boring as hell to actually play.
