Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) List of video games in the Museum of Modern Art
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) The image gives the reader a clear idea of how the video games in the collection are displayed. These works are displayed in a very minimalistic manner, with only the screen and controller visible to the player/user. This is done in order to minimize factors such as nostalgia and to generate a form of "distance" or "shock" in the player. The focus that is put on the work's design this way is modeled after Philip Johnson’s 1934 exhibition "Machine Art." Pac-Man was picked to represent the exhibit as curator Paola Antonelli expected it to be the most popular game on display.
