The more conceptual aspects of gaming are getting special notice with the Arthouse's newest exhibit RESET/PLAY. The show, which opens Saturday, explores the use of video games as a medium for the inspiration of contemporary art. The international cast of artists with work on display at RESET/PLAY were brought together by guest curators, Marcin Ramocki of Brooklyn and Paul Slocum of Dallas. Slocum is a new media artist who, among other things is turning 1985 vintage Epson printers into musical instruments. Ramocki also makes technology inspired art and co-created the documentary film 8 BIT which examines how video games have influenced contemporary culture. The Arthouse has teamed up with the Austin Museum of Digital Art to present various events related to the exhibit. Both guest curators will be at the Arthouse on Saturday at 3pm to talk about the exhibit.
