Mario's world is brought to life with fully working mystery boxes

Mario-Art-Installation-Antoinette-J-Citizen.jpg
Artist Antoinette J. Citizen has put together a room making me wish I could be a kid all over again. Called "Landscape," it's a pretty faithful recreation of what a level from Nintendo's iconic Mario series of video games would look like if brought to life, complete with question-marked boxes that ba-bing! when you bump them (or, in this case, press a little button on the underside of the box). Painted-on pipes and pixelated clouds flesh out the rest of the scene. Ms. Citizen should really think about going into the wallpaper business.

Check out the gallery below for more of Antoinette Citizen's Mario "Landscape."
