Retro-tech collective bolt (bureau of low technology), who coined the word "technostalgia", is at it again with this revivalist effort to ressusitate the obsolete and otherwise "dead media" of video games in its latest art experience "A Low-Tech Odyssey".
Dozens of vintage arcade games (that's the stand-up kind!) like Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender are all set on "FREE PLAY" for this homage to the arcade. The exhibit chronicles the beginnings of the first true interactive electronic art form, taking us from Pong right up to early 80's games like Missile Command, Donkey Kong and Astron Belt.
The show also features home consoles like the Atari 2600 (with dozens of cartridges) and Intellivision as well as classic computer games. Come live out your childhood fantasies and appreciate gaming in glorious 8-bit color.
