THE FLIPSIDE OF THE COIN

Are video games art? In early December, just after the festival had selected Hannes Bär and Jonas Oehrli’s project The Flipside of the Coin, the MOMA in New York launched a debate by buying 14 games including Pac Man, Tetris and SimCity. Bär and Oehrli invite visitors into their temporay Arcade Game Hall to discover 4 new games. However, behind the nostalgic pixelated look and the 8-bit sounds, you’ll stumble upon contemporary issues.
