NECG review: Kirk Jalbert's Atari MFA thesis

[+kisrael]

So the New England Classic Gamers have their own website -- a bunch of Boston (and a bit beyond) locals/classic gamers/collectors who get together for thrice-annual trademeets, classic game competition, and beer drinking and socialization.

 

Anyway, in trying to help with adding some relevant content to the site, I reviewed an atari-themed installation of modern art...

No, not that they had possibly been hacked and all my personal information they have on me was at risk -- worse.  A guy named Kirk Jalbert was having his MFA thesis exhibition at Tufts' Aidekman Gallery, and it had an Atari theme.  The implication was, for me, enormous: not only might I not be the biggest source of Atari 2600 mojo to come from Tufts University, I might not even be the biggest source of Atari 2600 mojo to come from Tufts University named Kirk. Troubling indeed, and further investigation was in order.
