Artist Turns Hong Kong Skyscraper Into Huge Arcade Game With Pac-Man, Tetris





For Art Basel this year in Hong Kong, a light show features classic arcade games on Hong Kong's tallest skyscraper.



Artist Cao Fei's project titled “Same Old, Brand New” will play five times a night over the five days of the art exhibition. The projected visuals include the classic Pac-Man and Tetris, complete with chiptune soundtrack.



The ICC skyscraper, Hong Kong's tallest building at 1,588 feet is frequently used as the backdrop for light shows and was also utilized at the Art Basel last year by Carsten Nicolai.
