Packing the Pop: Kenny George, Pacguy

Kenny George PacguyONGOING: Video games as art? Huh.

The latest exhibit at Flashpoint features artist Kenny George's amalgam of Pac-Man and himself: Pacguy! Along with a playable video game, the show includes a "computerized pogo stick" and other gizmos that blur the line between art and time-wasting.

Sure, it's about mainstream consumerism, competition, fleeting glory, whatever — it's an awesome excuse to play Pac-Man, and we call it art. You can't beat that.

» Flashpoint, 916 G St. NW; opening reception, Thu., Nov., 12, 6 p.m.-8 p.m.; through Dec. 19, free; 202-315-1310, Flashpointdc.org. (Gallery Place-Chinatown)
