Marcin Ramocki’s 8 BIT

Oct 7–11, 2006

MoMA

A combination “rockumentary,” art exposé, and culture-critical investigation, 8 BIT ties together the 1980s demo scene, chip-tune music, and artists using “machinima” and modified computer games. Produced in New York City, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo, the documentary brings a global perspective to the new artistic approaches of the DIY generation that grew up playing Atari, Commodore 64, and other video game consoles.

Organized by Barbara London, Associate Curator, Department of Film and Media.
