Space Carpet Invaders

Janek Simon’s Carpet Invaders art installation show is a political statement on how the video game, and many others, have transformed our kid’s minds and wallets from the innocent church-going, toys and trinkets type of youngster to an electronically-obsessed computer game junky. Toshihiro Nishikado’s Space Invaders is portrayed on an Armenian carpet via overhead projector hooked up to a PS2 and is installed as an interactive art piece for all to enjoy. Perhaps using the old carpet is a way of saying that you just can’t sweep games under the rug and forget about them; they’re here to stay! Ok I know that’s not really the message, but it’s all that I have.
