But Is It Art? Famed Chinese Artist Projects Giant Videogame Display On Building

HONG KONG -- Art Basel Hong Kong, one of the world's premier contemporary art shows, treated visitors to what may be the world's largest videogame display.

This year's show featured an over-sized tribute to classic videogame art projected onto Hong Kong's tallest building. The video display by artist Cao Fei paid homage to Pac-Man and Tetris, projected onto the 1,588-ft.-tall International Commerce Tower. The complex display was shown just five times over the course of the show, which ran from March 22 through March 26.

As the ever-critical art critics noted, this is not the first time a building has been used in conjunction with videogames. In 2012 MIT students turned the I.M. Pei green Building on the Cambridge campus into a game of Tetris. Students from Drexel University performed a similar feat on Philadelphia's 29-story Ciro Centre in 2014.
