In MOCA Grand Prix, game consoles in the museum’s plaza let participants race real remote control cars through the exhibition spaces. The wifi-enabled cars stream back images of Pollocks and Rothkos that are now appropriated for the background of a retro racing arcade game. Awards are presented for the fastest times of the evening.
