It is a large mural, six feet by 18 feet, of photos all taken with the Nintendo Gameboy camera. Here 's the blurb and flier:</div><div><br></div><div><div><div>TWO BIT SHADOWS</div><div>Photographs by John Adair</div><div>Wall of Sound</div><div>315 E. Pine St., Seattle</div><div>Join us on opening night: Friday April 18th 7pm-9pm</div><div><br></div><div>In 1995 Nintendo released what, by any measure, remains to this day the worst camera ever made. A cartridge for the original Gameboy, the Gameboy Camera takes pictures in four "colors" (if you can call white, black, light gray & dark gray colors) at an astonishing 0.009 mega-pixels. John has been using this camera for years to take snapshots of his daily life - obsessively cataloging and printing them out on the matching (and matchingly shoddy) Gameboy Printer. "Two Bit Shadows" collects 774 of these photos, blown up to 4x5 prints, into one large-scale mural to uncover the momentary histories and hidden orders revealed by the most reductive imaging device ever made.</div><div><br></div></div></div><div>Thanks and maybe a few of you are into it and can make it down.</div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; ">Here's the flyer, along with some views of the photos and the progress <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; ">--> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11px; "><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rusted_androgyne/2421565142/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/rusted_androgyne/2421565142/</a></span></span></span></div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>John</div><div><br></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; "><br></div></div></body></html>
