The Sensationalist art movement was established in 1997 by members of the YBA (Young British Artists) including artists such as Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. The movement involves artwork which has bold and controversial meaning.
(Tracey Emin's "Everyone I have ever slept with."1963-1995. Google Images.)
The picture above shows Tracey Emin's tent named "Everyone I've ever slept with." which may give some the impression she is a woman who sleeps around a lot, however her intentions were to display the names of everyone she has shared a bed with including friends and family. This bold statement intends to arguably highlight the judgmental nature of the media and society.
Video-games tend to also receive some negative feedback from the media and general public whether it's the size of Lara croft's breasts or the realistic violent content of the newest GTA. I believe it's important to have a strong message within videogames however as they tend to be picked on for their content often games producers should be aware of possible media backlash.
