More than 40 artists from around the world come together for Back to Bits, a curated art project exploring video game history via a series of gorgeous animated GIFs. Youāll probably want to save them all.
In the first installment of the ongoing series, artists capture the essence of NES classics from the ā80s and ā90s in 43 different images. Games range from the obvious choices like Super Mario Bros. 2 . . .
. . . to arcade classics like Joust and Gauntlet.
āBack to Bits was channeled by the nostalgic desire to go āback to the bit eraā when games were measured in bits, NES 8-bit and SNES 16-bit,ā said Jerry Liu, creator and curator, Back to Bits via press release. āThe project serves as a lighthearted creative outlet to bring like-minded artists together to share work, celebrate their love for these games and inspire the next generation of gamers.ā
