Mazes Are Getting Pretty Highbrow

It Y1 Game was
only two years ago that the Museum of Modern Art put its seal of approval on Pac-Man by adding the game to its permanent collection. Many saw this as a pivotal moment for video games; one of the most prestigious museums in the
world was adding a little yellow blob’s maze-lurking, ghost-eating adventures to the pantheon of fine art.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); But has anything about Pac-Man’s legacy actually changed since all yono app then? By way of an answer, I submit for your consideration “The Big Maze,” a new installation in the National Building
Museum in Washington, D.C. Built in partnership with the Danish architectural firm BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group, the thing basically looks like a fancified version of the corn mazes we all got lost in as kids:
Now, the designers working on this awesome-looking installation yono all rummy probably had a more multifaceted set of inspirations than just playing old levels of Pac-Man. But I still love moments like this when culture seems to be moving forward differently than one would normally expect—leading with a digital artifact and then revisiting one of its important physical precedents. Also, just putting it out there: I’d probably spend a lot more time at architecture museums if they all came with giant mazes.
