Didn’t get your chance to sit with Marina Abramović during her [*The Artist Is Present*](https://hyperallergic.com/moma-abramovic-line-ends/) performance at MoMA? Don’t worry, Copenhagen-based [Pippin Barr](http://www.pippinbarr.com/inininoutoutout/?p=2553&ref=hyperallergic.com) has given you a second chance in the form of [The Artist Is Present](http://kottke.org/11/09/the-artist-is-present-video-game?ref=hyperallergic.com), the 8-bit video game. He’s also updated the whole thing so you have to pay $25 to get into MoMA, take about a hard dose of reality. Ouch!

Btw, I’m still waiting in line to sit with the artist. I wonder how long it’ll take.
