Polish artist Janek Simon blends the narrative and aesthetic form of two media, one
ancient, one merely nostalgic: Caucasian carpets and late-70's videogames. This line, from
project's accompanying text is particularly illuminating, even in mixed English:

The collector carpet furnishing the ethnic-design, world-cuisine magazine becomes a
new shopping item for the homecoming marines and the kid back home. It is the Oriental rug
for your portable arcade mosque. Follow the voice of the Joystick prophet.
