Paula Antonelli

Paula Antonelli, senior curator at the MoMA has acquired the @ symbol for the permanent collection of the museum. That's pretty brilliant. I think what's more interesting is the kind of conversations she must have had with colleagues about it's inclusion- there was some opposition to it's acquisition. And what was discussed about what museums should and could acquire- what's the purpose of museums. And what effect does the acquisition have on the @ symbol in general- will people treat it with more reverence now it's been held on a pedestal? Interesting stuff.

I'm fairly convinced this game is brilliant in some conceptual way, if not very easy. Not seen much like it before. In browser. Tick. Robots. Tick. Time travel (in game and not just a theme). Tick. Do make sure you read the instructions though or you'll break your own head.
