From the project website: "Pac-Mondrian closes the perceptual distance between fine art and video games by combining Piet Mondrian's Modernist masterpiece 'Broadway Boogie Woogie' with Toru Iwatani's classic video game Pac-Man. The project offers gamers a chance to compete for $2000 worth of cash prizes for high score and level design." Link (Thank you, Snoodles!)

update: Francis Hwang of Rhizome.org points out that this web page contains a proposal for a competition -- apparently, the project never secured the funding needed, so there is no actual competition, prize, or Pac Mondrian face-off. A geek can dream, though, can't s/he?
