'80s video game art show in Echo Park celebrating Galaga's 30th anniversary

The Super I Am 8Bit sounds rad.

 

Since the inaugural show in 2005, this has become on of the  most popular group art exhibition in Los Angeles, enlisting hundreds of artists to remix their 80’s videogame memories.

 

So very nerdy. And what do they brag about –

creating a 6-foot-tall, working Atari 2600 controller (that's 15 times scale!) and the creation of a special Guitar Hero that used theme songs from Mega Man 2 and Ikari Warriors. 


The fifth iam8bit(Super was added just for 2011) will have an opening night extravaganza on Thursday, August 11, from 7pm to 11pm. at the recently renovated iam8bit headquarters in "glorious" Echo Park: - 2147 W. Sunset Blvd.

All-night ambiance by DJ R-Rated with performances by Leeni and A_Rival

 

 

There will be 4,500 square feet of wall-to-wall '80s video gaming fantasy with over 100 artists, including a  special tribute to Galaga's 30th anniversary. The world's largest arcade cabinet is a don't miss.
