Chiptunes and 8-bit visuals

Saturday, May 9, 8 p.m.

8static is Philadelphia’s first monthly chipmusic event, organized by The Hacktory. The first 8static took place on October 18th, 2008 as a part of DesignPhiladelphia. Chipmusic and 8-bit video are created on re-purposed computers and video game consoles from the 80′s and early 90′s, using the aesthetics and limitations of the hardware as expressive tools. This month’s music by Alex Mauer, Void Vision, and Go Motion; visuals by NO CARRIER. Free screening of Reformat the Planet 1.5. $5 ahead with flyer; $8 at the door
