Giant Robot: Game Over Exhibition Photos

Thanks for the visit to Game Over at Giant Robot. The exhibition features 140 pieces of art from nearly 80 artists. The opening reception on saturday was one of the most crowded ever. People filed in at 6 and we had people still hanging around well past 10. The work fills the walls and if you’re a game or art fan, this is a perfect place to get lost for a while. One of the first things you notice are video game cabinets and they’re featuring a game made by programmer Beau Blyth with art by Jeni Yang. It’s called Catburger. That’s Beau and Jeni below. Again to those who helped us get the show together including: Meatbun, Adam Robezzoli, Carlos Lopez, Dean Gojobori, Kio Griffith and to who promoted, covered and showed up, thanks much. We’ll get art online for sale perhaps later today or tomorrow.

Game Over Interview

[youtube]3N3YOyfVikk[/youtube]   Alejandro Quan-Madrid interviewed me for the upcoming, Game Over exhibition at Giant Robot 2. It’s me blabbing about the art of games that’ll be showing at GR. The energy and effort of people making media is always awesome. This was done with a camera that’s something like a Flipcam. Shot yesterday and put up so quick. Thanks Alejandro!

Artists Dropping Off Work for Game Over

I wish I shot them all. Maybe I will from now on. Many are fine and smiling. It’s a nice day out and if you’re self employed, you can go bike riding, but it is deadline day at Giant Robot for Game Over. Some artists look like they haven’t had enough sleep. Game Over has near 80 artists involved and that means 20% of the work will show up past deadline. These are some of the folks who walked in their work yesterday. I was happy to see them and I expect many more today.   That’s Ray Young Chu below who’d project is comprised of many paintings and wooden cut letters. It’s a game that could easily exist about the L.A. Riots. You can be a first person shooter, looter, or even a police officer. It’s as real as a piece can get.   Gary Musgrave – Joust (now corrected) action using acrylic ink.   Sarah Lee – Yes that’s inspired by Donkey Kong. It’s a great take of the game.   Sara Saedi – Crash Bandicoot. Who remember this game?   Mandana Ozlati, Albert Reyes, Aiyana Udesen and Matt Furie in artist pose.   Jon Lau doing some Tekken   Sana Park Katamari
