New video-game arcade exhibition, “ArtCade.” Opening June 8.
Published: June 6, 2019
Young At Art Museum is taking its art-is-fun philosophy to a new digital dimension by turning itself into an artistic video-game arcade with its exhibition, “ArtCade.”
Opening June 8, the YAA-curated, original exhibition features artist-designed video games and playable interactive artworks, both reimagined classics and new games designed by local and internationally acclaimed artists.
Large-screen video game tournaments, camouflage air hockey, color theory mini-golf and hands-free gaming will enable visitors to play their way through the exhibit while also learning how the arcade of the past has led to today’s video-game evolution.
Not only will players beta-test and provide feedback on games submitted by independent designers, they also will be able to design their own video-game character and create original videos using iPad stop-motion animation. Other exhibits will include original aim-and-launch games, an interactive gumball-machine sculpture and an interactive, black-light arcade room.
A preview party for members is from 10am–noon, after which the show is open to the public through Sept 22. YAA is at 751 SW 121 Ave., Davie. For more information, call 954-424-0085 or visit http://www.youngatartmuseum.org
