Kotaku feels it's "Too Soon" to see this art installation of classic arcade game Space Invaders showing the Space Invaders destroy the World Trade Center. Apparently the artist Douglas Edric Stanley was invited to show his "somewhat ambiguous juxtaposition of this mythical game and the historical events of September 11th" for the 30th anniversary of the game. Stanley thinks Space Invaders is "a social tale that can be related to historical tales without losing its poetic power."
