Hi folks,
I'm not only into arcade gaming but retro gaming in general - focusing to present games more towards a cultural aspect.
Speaking of this my Video Game Art Exhibition will be presented in Berlin from 23.04 - 05.06.2015:

The SUPERSAMPLE art exhibition makes a compelling case for games to be viewed not only as mere play, but speak to the evolution of games as an artistic medium and its influence/impact on culture.
Even in their rudimentary form, video games held forth a potential and promise that inspired various artists and illustrators from all over the world. From pixel graphics by dutch 3D illustrator Metin Seven to acrylic views of vintage hardware by californian artist Catherine Kaleel more than 20 artists share their interpretations and differently look of games including pieces inspired by Donkey Kong, Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Pac Man.
Various materials like posters, canvas or oil/acrylic paint on wood show a pretty decent overview of modern pop art sensibilities.

Exhibition will start by April in Berlin, going to Cologne and Munich (Gemany), Vienna and Linz (Austria), Rome and Manchester by end of the year.
Besides artwork it will also include some interactive installations like a PacMan and Galaga Arcade machine, a XXL NES Controller and more (big thanks to
