Keeping with my seemingly unintentional "video game" themed post for the past week, there is hope that a life sized de_dust will be cre
ated!

I know for some, this is old news (early June to be exact) but for me (as I just found this out) is pretty exciting news. Aram Bartholl is or will be the man responsible for this ambitious project measuring 115 x 110 x 15 metres. But for now though, he has a 1:250 scale model made out of plastic (see below). The final 1:1 piece will be created in full concrete with no colour or textures.

Bartholl's intention is to create both an art piece and a "walking museum".
Bartholl has worked on various projects such as the "Google Map Project:"

What do you think of this de_dust project? Would you have chosen something else to better represent the gaming culture?

he should turn it into an airsoft site when it's done! he'd make some money!
Would be awesome to play paintball in de_dust.
Ambitious project, can't wait to see the finished result.
Does sound like an interesting thing to do. Though everyone's right. Paintball or lasertag being combined into it would likely get it even more attention.
Screw the art, paintball would be hella awesome
Ya, lots of people wanted something like that but the artist really intends for this to be a museum/representation of the gaming culture.
But again...paintball would be awesome (it also fits in).
it will look awesome!
looking forward to the result! :)
I'm for this. I can't wait to see it finished!
Like Philip said, I see it making a lot of money if it was then turned into an airsoft site afterwards.
I would have chosen something out of zelda, like Kokiri Village in OOT
Oh god yes, I heard about this and I applaud this man and his efforts.
I like that last picture =)
