In this hybrid documentary format that investigates the sustained (and widespread) impact of video games on contemporary Pop culture, Ramrocki and Strawhand draw connections between such cultural phenomena as the demo-tape scene, machinima film or 8-bit chiptune music, the game theory and aesthetic retro-trends in contemporary arts and fashion design, and portray some of the field’s main protagonists and their aesthetic strategies. With Cory Arcangel, Bit Shifter, Bodenständig 2000, Bubblyfish, Mary Flanagan, Alex Galloway, Glomag, Paul Johnson, John Klima, Johan Kotlinski, Nullsleep, Joe McKay, Tom Moody, Akiko Sakaizumi, Eddo Stern, Teamtendo, Treewave and Carlo Zanni.
