Please join me this Friday 3/18 from 6:30 – 8:30 for a reception and
post-reception get-together to meet and greet Toronto-based artists Prize
Budget For Boys (makers of Pac-Mondrian), and see our newly tweaked version
of the Digital Play video game gallery, in which Pac-Mondrian will be
installed.  The ‘boys’ will also do a performance in the gallery at 7pm.
 
Other new elements in Digital Play include the surreal, endearing, and
addictive Katamari Damacy; juxtapositions of classic arcade games with their
modern day counterparts; and some of the more unusual ‘bemani’- format
music/dance games from today and yesterday. A list is below.
 
Though this ain’t no art exhibit, I am hopeful that  NYC-based media artists
working w/the games format, as well as those who are intrigued but don’t
have the time or gear in order to explore further, will consider playing
with us on Friday.  Barring a weather apocalypse, we will retire to a
neighborhood café/bar afterwards.
