8bitdoc.jpgI like videogames. I like art. So it stands that there's no reason I won't love 8-bit, which is makers bill as "a documentary about art and videogames." Sign me up.

They had their first screening this past Saturday night at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in NYC, and there's another one on the 11th. So if you're in the city that never sleeps, head on down to the Muesum and help these guys out.

I'm kind of hoping they'll have more screenings on the weekend, that way I can get into the city to see it.

It sounds right up my alley. Here's the skinny straight from the site:

8 BIT is a hybrid documentary examining the influence of video games on contemporary culture...

A mélange of a rocumentary, art expose and a culture-critical investigation, 8 BIT ties together seemingly disconnected phenomena like the 80’s demo scene, chiptune music and contemporary artists using machinima and modified games...

Produced in NYC, LA, Paris and Tokyo, 8 BIT brings a global perspective on the new artistic approaches of the DIY generation which grew up playing Atari and Commodore 64...

8 BIT insists that in the 21st century Game-Boy rock, machinima and game theory belong together and share a common root: the digital heritage of Generation X.

Check out the Trailer...
