Times Online has reviewed the slides at Tate Modern here: http://timesonline.typepad.com/critics/2006/10/tate_moderns_sl.html

All the articles I’ve read have debated whether it’s art or not. First of all, everyone I saw taking the ride regressed instantaneously to become a 5 year old: this is an amazing experience and I believe the experience itself is really worthwhile.

Secondly, we have this huge industrial hall, which used to house generators for a power station, and dangling out of the walls we have these 4 steel tendrils. It’s definitely art, on a huge scale.
