Games Grab Grim Reality
New York Times, Sept. 17-A recent
game that depicts the "9-11" terrorist attack has
provoked an immediate outcry on the Internet even though the
game was not created for commercial use. It was created as an
art-class project by three students at the University
of California, San Diego, John Brennan, Mike Caloud
and Jeff Cole. The students said their goal was to reinterpret
a historic moment by transplanting it to the medium with which
they were most familiar: computer games. Inured to the distant
televised images of Sept. 11, they hoped an immersive, interactive
version would restore an immediacy to the day's horrors. Local
artists are starting to see computer games evolve into a new
populist art form.
