Pinball machines have largely been relegated to the scrap yard of nostalgia, but that hasn't stopped William T. Wiley from resurrecting a 1964 game called North Star and giving it a contemporary spin. The original backboard depicts Eskimos and North Pole femmes fatales, clad in thigh-skimming fur and perched on icecaps with walruses and polar bears; Wiley, with his flair for maps and surreal cosmologies, repaints the scene as The Eye Scabs Are Melting — a cautionary tale of global warming. Visitors test their pinball wizardry on both the original and the artist's updated version.
