Young At Art invites you to ArtCade, an original exhibition of artist-designed video games and playable interactive artworks! Experience artfully re-imagined classics and new video games designed by local and internationally acclaimed artists. Play your way through the new exhibition while learning how the arcades of the past have led to the modern video game evolution of today. The exhibition will feature the interactive digital artwork and video game technology of artist Samuel Lopez De Victoria; original aim and launch games by animator Christopher Ian Macfarlane; a role playing game by artist Hunter Jonakin; an interactive gumball machine sculpture that teaches the user about planting by artist Julian Pardo; and an interactive black light arcade room painted by widely recognized artist David Anasagasti. ArtCade visitors will participate in large screen video game tournaments, camouflage air hockey, color theory mini-golf and hands-free gaming. Independent game designers will submit their games for beta testing by exhibit visitors and receive their feedback.
