The opening reception for I AM 8-BIT version 2.006 is being held in LA tonight from 6-11PM (Pacific time, natch) at Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight. The exhibition, billed as "an art show inspired by videogames of the '80s," features the work of 120 artists with video games as their muse. Tonight's reception includes a performance by 8-Bit Weapon, a surprise DJ, and a Capcom-themed bar (Bionic Commando and tonic anyone?).
The show will be open until May 19th, so make sure to reserve some time while you're in town, E3 pilgrims. For interested locals, there will also be an I AM 8-BIT book signing at Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight on Saturday.
