GAMES:AV is a live concert, screening and club night featuring musicians, DJs, VJs, audiovisualisers, 8-bit operators, film-makers, animators and digital artists whose work has been shaped by Video Games culture… plus a basement gallery of wall-sized interactive games… There’s an entire generation of established artists and up-and-coming talent who have been inspired by and influenced by video games; a wealth of grass root musicians and music makers “who are dedicated to the appreciation and reinterpretation of video game music” (VGM) - through numerous online communities; a vibrant scene of 8-bit music makers or ‘chip tuners’ who use the same sound chips as the original games consoles; various digital artist groups whose work explores alternative gaming experiences and the boundaries between gaming and art; and short film-makers and animators from around the world that draw from and are inspired by video game culture.

We want to help the London Games Fringe realise its aim to “explore VG culture in its many manifestations and its relations with other art and media forms” by tapping into and presenting highlights from this rich and diverse seam of creative work.

The line-up will see live performances and DJ/VJ sets from: Ben Osborne v Overlap, The Lost Levels, The Sancho Plan, Vector Lovers and the ZX Spectrum Orchestra and from 8-bit music makers and labels gwEm vs Counter Reset and Jellica (Kittenrock);; as well as contributions from grass-root, online Video Game music communities and 8-bit music makers; multi-player gaming experiences from Handheld and interactive works from digital artist groups such as Boredbrand, igloo and Fijuu and Nipplecat; as well as a Future Shorts specifically curated programme of innovative short films and animations from around the world.
