I Am 8-Bit, the second installment of a group art show dedicated to the videogame classics of the 1980s, opens April 18th at Gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight in Los Angeles. The exhibit showcases more than one hundred artists' efforts to recapture their childhood gaming obsessions with painted and sculpted re-imaginings of their favorite console and coin-op heroes. Artists include Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Dalek, Ashley Wood, the late Seth Fisher and many more. Also, look for Gibson's I Am 8-Bit book, newly published by Chronicle Books. Both the exhibit and book are sure to delight those nostalgic for a time before cartridges became obsolete.
