"In 1996, two Swedish art students created what is now considered the first example of an artistic modification of a videogame in Scandinavia, if not in the world. Palle Torsson and Tobias Bernstrup started their artistic career with a scandal and continued to push the boundaries of art with “Museum Meltdown”, a piece where the relatively conservative conventions of the art world imploded when they collided with videogames. “Museum Meltdown” was shown at the biennale “Borrealis 8” at Arken Museum of Contemporary Art outside Copenhagen in Denmark. It generated a stir within the artworld and was soon imitated."
