No artistic expression for video games

The reactions to the infamous art installation by Douglas Edric Stanley (wherein an interactive game of Space Invaders was superimposed over images of the attacked World Trade center towers) were almost entirely negative. The work was trashed as an offensive, meaningless, tasteless piece; and Stanley ended up taking it down from it’s display at GC last month. One writer believes we’ve all been too quick to judge, however, and that a large part of it is the fact that the piece was presented as a game.
