Pippin Barr, The Artist is Present, interactive game, 2011
"Are games art?! This one definitely is! The Artist is Present is a Sierra-style recreation of the famed performance piece of the same name by artist Marina Abramovic at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Have the experience only a lucky few have ever had! Stare into Marina Abramovic's eyes! Make of it what you will! Just like art! The Artist Is Present was written in ActionScript 3 using Adobe's FlashBuilder 4.5 and the excellent Flixel library. The font in The Artist Is Present is Commodore 64 Pixilized by Devin Cook."
