PSA: iam8bit goes Super this evening in Los Angeles

Super iam8bit opens in Los Angeles this evening.

Just a reminder that video game-inspired art house iam8bit is reinventing itself as Super iam8bit this evening at its HQ in Los Angeles' Echo Park neighborhood. Starting tonight at 7pm and going through the next month, the gallery will host over 100 works of art influenced and inspired by your favorite video games. There will also be a "world's largest arcade cabinet" to celebrate Galaga's 30th anniversary, and developer Drew Skillman of Double Fine will be showing off a brand new Kinect Hack.

The gallery is at 2147 W. Sunset Blvd, and tonight's opening extravaganza will start at 7pm and have music by DJ R-Rated and special appearances by chiptune artists Leeni and A_Rival. Even if you're not in LA, Joystiq will be in attendance this evening, so stay tuned for pictures and news from the event tonight.

I wouldn't mind having a poster of this, it looks pretty awesome.

There weren't any Sonic games in the '80s.

Whats with all the nintendo/mario?

I'm so bored of it

super sexy action iam8bit

I fortunately happen to be in LA for the summer, so I think I'll check this out if I can convince some friends to go too. Museums and art displays usually aren't my thing, but Nintendo was my childhood and I'm willing to bet it's the same for many of the artists. Looking forward to it.
