2. Both glitch.jam and chip.jam are almost sold out! If you wanted to learn how to make video game glitch art or low-fi 8 bit electronic music, we recommend you reserve your spot now.
3. And finally, we just wanted to share with you some of the amazing work that will be featured in Vector's Pop-Up Shop, located in the front of Propeller during the festival.
Pop Sandbox's new arcade cabinet for their political game PipeTrouble, which takes a classic video game and uses it to discuss the politics of natural gas and oil pipelines, will be featured in the Pop Up Shop area!!! The Game officially launches on Feb 27th, but you can play it for free all weekend long at Vector in advance of the launch!
In addition to Pipetrouble, the Pop Up Shop area will feature zines, CDs, DVDs, games and more by game artists who are participating in the festival as well as other members of the International game art community.
Anna Anthropy, whose game Dys4ia is part of our networks exhibition has sent us copies of her choose your own adventure zines: The Hunt for the Gay Planet and Starwench.
As well, Santa Cruz based artist Max Capacity has sent us copies of his pixel/ glitch art zines: Pixel Smut and his Apezilla Double Digest.
Copies of these zines and other great collectible works by artists and designers from around the world will be available for purchase (in limited supply) during Vector 2013.
Stay tuned each day leading up to Vector as we highlight more great works to come and remember to pick up your tickets and /or passes!
