We are happy to announce that 8 bit and 1/2 by our artist Daniel Canogar will be on view at Fundación Canal. The work is composed of an iron table covered with discarded Game Boy parts. An overhead projection precisely aimed at the pieces animates and seemingly gives them a new life. As leisure tools, and prints of so many of our childhood experiences, we have acquired a very intimate relationship with video games. Haunted by their past, Canogar attempts to reveal memories, both personal and collective, that seem trapped within, mementos of a time when these machines had a fully functional live.
