 Face of Doom Video Game Projected onto Decrepit Sarajevo Hotel In the heart of Sarajevo is a decrepit hotel that is now the backdrop of urban art projection. Specifically, images from the Doom Video Game are being projected on the crumbling old hotel.  "Face of Doom" is an outdoor installation that consists in projecting the game interfaces of Doom onto the ruins of the Hotel Europa in Sarajevo (Branilaca Sarajeva Zelenih Beretki). "Face of Doom" opened the XXIII International Festival of Sarajevo. The once majestic hotel was heavily damaged during the war. The "Face of Doom" video shows the changing states of Taggart Flynn, also known as "The DoomGuy". As the energy level decreases from 100% to 14%, Flyn's expression becomes increasingly tormented and anguished, a metaphor for a city that suffered so much destruction during the war. Luckily for Flynn, the video ends with the energy level restored to 100%. The artist Damiano Colacito is one of the most interesting artists on the Italian Game Art scenes according to videoludica.
