^Thank you. That kind of "Artist's statement" is simply the musings of an obvious publicity whore.

>> Space Invaders is "a social tale that can be related to historical tales without losing its poetic power." >>

Is he kidding. What a crock of pretentious, artsy-fartsy crap.

Is it fair to say that -- whether offensive or not -- this is just bad art? I mean, come on: "a social tale that can be related to historical tales without losing its poetic power"? If I sat down and tried to write a parody of a stupid, pretentious "artist," I doubt I could come up with a line that stupid and pretentious.

Besides, it's the WTC, one of the most emotional events in American history -- but still this guy's "art" manages to be boring and uninteresting. That must be some kind of achievement in the "bad art" department.

I'm sure the artist will pretend to be completely surprised that anyone was offended.

I mean seven years, unlikely to be completed for the tenth anniversary.

It is coming up on nine years and the trade center is still a hole in the ground. People at my company died there, a macabre tribute in photographs yellows in the break room. The bureaucratic mechanisms that have impeded progress at the site should be dismantled. At the very least, many should lose their cushy, suckling on the teat of productive new york, state and federal jobs. We should all be ashamed that this embarrassment is what our government thinks we will accept.

Yeah 9/11 families, haven't you gotten over your dead family members yet? Heck, it's been seven years...

/sarcasm

stupid idea...

not as annoying as the 9/11 families.
