L’artiste Hunter Jonakin a imaginé une borne d’arcade contenant un jeu video FPS (First Person Shooter) dont le but est de virtuellement détruire l’oeuvre de Koons lors d’une rétrospective. Alors, Jeff Koons must die or not ? Un artiste contemporain détruit dans un FPS, par un autre artiste contemporain, qu’est-ce que ça raconte ? Des histoires d’artistes contemporains. Verdict : Boom !
