A display at an art exhibit in the U.K. by artist John Paul Bichard features shots taken from Max Payne 2 to create eery prints of an imaginary crime scene:
By transforming the game environment into a ready-made urban studio space, the objects and interiors were altered using the in-game weapons with the gore from dead enemies being used to 'paint' the sets before being unceremoniously blasted out of view and the scene captured.
