actually one of the things my tour guide told me when i first visited UMich was that people had run around in the fishbowl dressed up as Pac-Man characters. I think it's really interesting, incorporating something so Other, so different into the fabric of your reality. Along the same lines, there is a Hacker's Club at UMich this year (and possibly has been in past years, but I just saw it at FestiFall recently) and they had a large pole with a Mario question mark box suspended above and in front of their table so that people could interact with it as they walked by or take a picture of themselves imitating one of the most translated and easily identified video game movements of our generation.

ReplyDeleteNot quite the same as these ones, but that's what it reminded me of. I love all the sound effects they make, in the Pacman one especially.
