VANTAGE is an interactive piece using a map of Baghdad overlayed on a satelite image of the city at the height of the Iraq war. Players click on one of the 14 jets that are positioned around the edge, firing a missle into the playing area. There are three types of buildings to hit: civilian, military, and religious. When all the civilian buildings, or all the military buildings are hit, a corresponding new level opens up.

But all buildings have consequences. Military buildings bring up images of Abu Ghraib, and images of civilian casualties display when civilian buildings are hit. If too many religious buildings are hit, or the satalite dishes pick up too many heliocopters, you time out.
