Of course, we here in the states have been a little flakey on the whole terrorism thing lately. I have to think that if someone was going to make a bomb they wouldn't put it in a gold foil box with a huge question mark on it and hang it from a tree. Of course that's just me, and since I don't work for the Department of Homeland Security I don't have much say in the matter.

So with that piece of real world art behind us I've been wondering when someone would try some videogame/reality crossover again.

But I digress.

We've all played a racing game that takes place in a city, so we can all recognize the flashing arrows that game designers often use to keep drivers on the current "course". Well, Aram Bartholl has taken said arrows and implanted them into real life. The arrows are inspired by Need for Speed Underground which is a shame since it's a crap game. But I gotta admit, it's a cool look and I think works really well in the real world space. There's also little chance of the bomb squad being brought in, since it's a sanctioned art piece and it's overseas.
