Check out an interview with street artist Space Invader. This is a clip from the global street art and graffiti documentary Bomb It.

Invader is a French street artist who pastes up small tile mosaics featuring the pop culture characters from the 1970′s arcade game Space Invaders. His invasion began in Paris in 1998 and has since moved to countless other major cities around the globe.

The Hollywood Sign is one of the most prominent places where the mosaics have invaded. To date each letter of the famous sign has been tagged.

“Invaders” have been documented as “Invasions”, with books and maps of where to find each invader.

LIMBO may be Playdead Studio’s first release but this is already a classic game. Check out this game trailer for a preview of the action.

LIMBO’s gameplay is in monochromatic black-and-white tones with little lighting. Film grain effects and minimal ambient sounds create an eerie atmosphere reminiscent of a horror movie. The dark presentation has been described as film noir and German expressionism. Based on these aesthetics reviewers have classified Limbo as an example of “video game as art”.

New York based visual artist Rosemarie Fiore created this time lapse photograph. It was taken one frame per second during gameplay of the 1980′s arcade game Tempest.

Tempest is an Atari game and featured an advanced color display for its time. The game was initally meant to be a 3D version of Space Invaders making it one of the earliest 3D-like games to hit the arcade floors. These vibrant colors and the 3D quality do an amazing job of capturing the energy of the early 1980′s arcade games.

Rosemarie also shot photos from several other games.

This a video made from the popular Line Rider online computer game. As noted on the video’s YouTube page – “It is a scenic trip through the magical world of Line Rider. Made with pre-beta 2.”

Line Rider, an online computer game, does an amazing job of capturing the interaction between the computer and a player. Based on a user-generated environment and a real-time render engine the game takes on a self-made movie quality when played.

Empowered with a digital pencil a player has endless possibilities. The player draws a series of lines that determine Bosh’s (the game character) fate. It is a linear game with at least a clear starting point.

These user-generated lines are the basis of original works of art. This video, Line Rider – Jagged Peak Adventure by UnConeD, is an example. If you are interested in seeing more there are endless others listed here on YouTube.
