Hosted an awesome event last night at the gallery with Hey There and the Ayzenberg crew… Highlight was my eight-year-old friend Theo who was obsessed with the Commodore PET. Photodump!

The VHS (Video Home System) format was first introduced in 1976 by the Victor Company of Japan (aka JVC). After a brief battle with Sony’s “Betamax” standard it became the dominant home video format for consumer-level analog video recording through the 1990s. #vhs #homevideo 📸 @computerloverecords

Excited to share that the AVOID MISSING BALL exhibition will be open to the public again for a limited engagement in December… please follow for more details!!! #odyssey #pong #atari #arcade #gamehistory #microsoft #xbox #pcgames #pcgaming #retrogaming #macintosh #bungie #halo #nvidia #supercade ♡

Supercade is excited to announce a new exhibition celebrating the rich history of videogames — AVOID MISSING BALL —curated in partnership with Ayzenberg at Space Gallery in Pasadena, California. This definitive survey of the first interactive game explores the dawn of digital culture and the pioneers who created a new medium.

On view will be a comprehensive archive of first-generation home gaming systems including Odyssey, Atari’s Pong, and myriad rare clones – some playable on vintage era-correct televisions – as well as an Atari VCS playing Video Olympics, Commodore Pet running Pong!, and several early Pong arcade games.

Also included is two-player immersive experience ACID PONG created by video artist Josh Randall (@robotkid), a psychedelic gaming trip challenging interaction and reaction. Randall embraces the inherent glitchiness of the technology and asks, “What if it was more glitchy?”

Also displayed in the gallery is a selection of digital prints from photographer Ira Nowinski’s iconic series “Bay Area Video Arcades”, generously on loan from Stanford University Library.
