Re: Bubsy 3D Visits the James Turell Retrospective
I never played Bubsy 3D, but it is the archetype of its generation. An era where everyone felt obligated to take their disposable 2d platformers of yesterday and make them 3d, just because they felt they had to. Not because they had fun ideas for a game or that there was really even a market clamoring for it.
So, too, does the St. Elmo's Breath installation seem to say "art for the sake of art is useless." I was blown away that it was just a fuckin' purple rectangle. Cynical capitalism and cynical art, yen and wang.
It's goofy that we have people who have to pretend to have something to say about James's art, when it should just be the sort of thing that adorns malls. Where it belongs.
On a heavily related topic, Dan Bell's dead mall series is a strong recommendation for those who don't know what malls look like nowadays.
