It goes to show you that video games in culture now a days are just another form of art. They can be jumping points for creativity and brand new ideas. This guy took the basic idea of Guitar hero, threw it over the edge with adding an electronics display that is full functional and useable down to the use of a magnetic pick to strum the notes instead of a strum bar that comes standard on the guitar controllers. He also included an electronic whammy bar into the computer programming so that you could get the full on experience of playing a virtual guitar.

I created an art exhibition of well known British artist, Banksy a.k.a "Robert Banks."
He does politically charged large scale stencil throw ups onto british sidewalks and old buildings in London. He also does contemporary artistic sabotage of Thomas Kincaid style works with his works of adding in modern gay ghetto trash to beautifully render meadows and waterliles with a lovely view of a half submerged Shopping Cart, and road cones. He is the modern day Che Guevarra of the guerilla artist movement, its for the people.
My final was inspired by the reading of Shepard Fairey's Manifesto about all the places in the world that haven't been painted. I wanted to create a gallery space that could import High Resolution Art of both amateur and famous artists in the art community. You could scale those images in photoshop and import them into a virtual 3d gallery space controlled VIA a game design engine. You run the space allowing free ranged movement to sit and enjoy the pieces in a virtual space from the comfort of your own computer space. This would give thousands of people world wide, public access 24 hours a day to the underground and professional art scene. Theoretically. enjoi. :P
