[Yes, *that* Michelle Malkin]
From the press release:
LOS ANGELES, CA – On April 12, 2007 (12:00 – 9:00PM), Niche.LA Video
Art presents “Christ Killa,” featuring digital and video artist Eric
Medine.
Described as the ultimate arbitration between politics and
Christianity, “Christ Killa” is a video game linked to video projectors
and television monitors. A first person shooter in which the player
shoots hordes of homicidal Jesus Christs, the game landscape is filled
with Googled images of Christian propaganda posters, religious shrines
such as St. Peter’s in Rome, and clichéd representations of Christ who
constantly mumbles messages of tolerance and compassion.
The audience is invited to participate in the carnage by playing the
video game and watching short videos of the game in action.
About the "artist," Eric Medine:
He received his BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago
in 1996 and his Masters degree at the Otis School of Art and Design in
Los Angeles in 2006. He has shown work at the 2005 Los Angeles Juried
Exhibition, the Angels Gate Art Center, the Greater L.A. MFA Exhibition
in Long Beach, and the Walled Cities Gallery in San Pedro where he
recently had a one-person show.
I find it incredibly amusing how "avant garde" these "artists" believe
themselves to be.
Ooooh. Homicidal Jesus Christs. With guns. How "edgy." Not. It looks
like they hired the same people who wrote the mock right-wing terrorism
drills in Burlington Township NJ or Muskegon County, Michigan to put
this exhibit together.
You want edgy? Go ahead and create "Mohammed Killa." Replace the
Homicidal Jesus Christs with Homicidal Mohammeds mumbling cliched
messages of peace from the Koran. Fill the "game landscape" with Googled
images of Muslim propaganda and sacred mosques while the Homicial
Mohammeds blow themselves up in crowded schools, restaurants, buses, and
markets.
Put that on exhibit. Go ahead. Be a maaaverick "artist." Show us how
brave you are at offending all people of faith.
Double dare you, Mr. Medine.
