Super iam8bit Video Game Inspired Art Show Opens Tonight In L.A.

by Matt Helgeson on Aug 11, 2011 at 03:45 PM

Video game-inspired art has become increasingly popular and prevalent in recent years, and that's due in large thanks to iam8bit, an exhibition that's back from an extended layoff and is opening tonight in Los Angeles.

Iam8bit will feature works from numerous artists, all inspired by classic games from the 8- and 16-bit eras. The show opens tonight at 7pm PST and will feature special opening party performances by DJ R-Rated, Leeni, and A_Rival. The show has also spawned a book that showcased pieces from the show.

Check out this month's Game Informer for our exclusive history of the iam8bit show. It's features some amazing art, like Rich Pelligrino's "Zelda's Slumber," pictured below.

SUPER iam8bit opens on August 11, 2011 and runs through September 10

2147 W. Sunset Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90026
