Blip Festival 2008
by Hermes, December.02.2008
Straight from Mr. Bit Shifter himself:
HEADS UP • THE BLIP FESTIVAL 2008
4 DAYS • 32 MUSICIANS • 6 LIVE VISUALISTS
THURSDAY 12 04 through SUNDAY 12 07
The Blip Festival, a bracing and high-impact showcase of the chipmusic phenomenon and its related disciplines, hits Brooklyn in the event's third annual head-busting installment.
32 of the international chipmusic underground's most destructive otherworldly presences take their positions alongside 6 reality-shaping deities of motion graphics, all descending upon Brooklyn venue The Bell House to shatter expectations, senses, and worlds. Four nights of performances, bolstered by daytime presentations, workshops, and screenings. All events are all-ages.
Brought to you by 8bitpeoples and The Tank.
UPDATE: sadly Mesu Kasumai has cancelled.
However, as an upshot to this, we are excited to announce the inclusion of Cheap Dinosaurs!
