As the name suggests, ‘I am 8-Bit’ is all about eighties video games. Donkey Kong, Super Mario Brothers, Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Sonic the Hedgehog, are the cool inspiration for this show. Now on its fourth annual edition the event, features over a hundred artists, and takes place at the World of Wonder Storefront Gallery in Hollywood. The pop-art venue is becoming ever more relevent with it’s out-there, on the edge shows. Indeed, '…8-Bit's’ inclusion of WOW, is as unsurprising a move as it is smart. While the opening night includes performances from Computer Jay and DJ R-Rated, the show itself sees works from talents including, the wicked Shok1-esque, Joe Ledbetter, the childlike, strangely comforting Amanda Visell, and the darkly devious, quirky Luke Chueh (above). It's a superb mix, a trip down memory lane, one that swings in the direction of future and funk.I am 8-Bit will takes place at the World of Wonder Storefront Gallery in Hollywood, 6650 Hollywood BlvdHollywood, California, from 14th August 14 to 7th September 2008.
