i am 8-bit ART/MUSIC GALLERY

i am 8-bit aims to recapture the glory days of retro videogames. It all started with a group art show in 2005, enlisting hundreds of artists from around the world to remix their arcade and console memories.

Presented here is a version of that live art experience - the Donkey Kong-inspired art of many i am 8-bit regulars, much of which is available in i am 8-bit: Art Inspired by Classic Videogames of the 80s (Published by Chronicle Books); and the tunes of an elite lineup of micro-musicians, a unique set of performers whose instruments aren't what you'd expect. Instead of guitars and drums, they use game boys, commodore 64s, and a variety of other consoles to compose their tracks.
