Oct 10/04 & 10/05 - royb0t co-curates Glitch'N'Games Exhibition [Pittsburgh, PA]

As a digital artist, royb0t was invited by suture blue (Bee Nix), alongside RDKLINC (John Bumstead), to co-curate and co-organize the Glitch’N’Games exhibitions hosted in Pittsburgh, PA. The events feature print and digital artworks as well as interactive games and workshops across 2 locations, Like Like Arcade (Fri 10/04) and Wick Monet Gallery (Sat 10/05).

The artwork, Digital T.V. Dinner, made in 1977 using a Bally Astrocade, was created by game programmer, Jamie Fenton. This piece is widely recognized as the first work of Glitch Art (as we know it today) created and exhibited.

There is a long, intertwining history of players, designers, and artists engaging and communicating with video game glitches yet, the significance of their entwinement is not often discussed or brought to attention.

Glitch’N’Games is an exhibition that seeks to spotlight and speak to the connection that Glitch Art and Video Games have with one another, and particularly why the element of play is so important.
