Art Week brings a lot of mystifying art too lofty for the average layman to understand, but this is an installation we can get on board with.
Accomplishing what ICC’s managers have completely failed to do, Chinese artist Cao Fei used the skyscraper’s LED lights to create an awesome, traffic-slowing display, reports Artnet.
Accomplished artist Cao, 37, played Atari-inspired images on the building’s façade, with Pac-Man, Tetris tiles, and Space Invader ships all making an appearance.
The show, entitled “Same Old, Brand New”, ran from March 14 – 17 and was accompanied by synchronised music, accessible via an app.
Now, what do we have to do to make this permanent? Can we insert coins into a slot somewhere?
