Hohokum, a video game where you play a long, thin worm that changes color based on direction, isn’t just an art-ier version of Snakes. Released last month for PS4 and PS Vita, Hohokum is considered an “art video game” by developer HoneySlug, who created it in collaboration with British artist and illustrator Richard Hogg.
PARIS — Young New York-based Canadian artist David Altmejd’s remarkably ambitious retrospective exhibition of sculpture at the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris played pithily with many current intellectual strands — anthropomorphism, dematerialization, science fiction, internet culture, artificial life, image profusion, and micro-organisms.

The Long, Strange Life of Yayoi Kusama
On the surface of this well-fueled publicity blitz, Yayoi Kusama is a dotty (pun intended) old grandma all about fun, polka dots and puffy balloons, including her eye-popping window display for the Louis Vuitton store on Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. On the inside, which all the W magazine air kisses in the world can’t conceal, Kusama is about decades of raging struggles with precarious mental balance, gender, ethnicity, money, power, class, self-mythology, annihilation, life and death, peppered with a bit of wonder.
