Better if they had gone with "art within video games" or something else that's currently capturable in a museum setting. It's especially disappointing in that they'd started out with such promise – a huge social media campaign that resulted in the games exhibited — but never considered how that same medium might better capture the actual art of video games (e.g. gamer stories) than mounting games up on the wall like the severed head of a deer.
