I Am 8-Bit 2008 Exhibition Announced

Organizers of I Am 8-Bit today announced that the art exhibition is returning for its fourth installment. Over 100 artists will display their art inspired by classic ’80s video games. I am 8-Bit will open on Thursday, August 14, 2008 at the World of Wonder Storefront Gallery in Hollywood, California at 8 PM and will run until September 7.

"Mario, Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Sonic are just as iconic as The Beatles to our generation," says I Am 8-Bit founder and curator, Jon M. Gibson. "They are our childhood heroes, our babysitters, our most awesome fantasies - and it’s amazing to see how wildly and diversely artists choose to interpret them, because every experience is a personal one."

"After undergoing major renovations to the gallery, we’re extremely excited that such a large-scale show like I Am 8-Bit has chosen World of Wonder as its home this year," says Randy Barbato, co-founder of WOW. "It’s bound to be our biggest, most extravagant art event to date!"
