Special Characters

We are pleased to present you the five winners of our call re. illustration and games. Meet the artists! Join us for music, drinks and informal talks!

On occasion of our pro games-focus on interactions between games and other creative industries we want to show that boundaries between illustration, comic and games are fluid: 3D, modeling, animation, storyboarding, character development, concept art – it´s all in there.

To show reciprocal impacts, SUBOTRON and Austrian Illustration have called austrian artists to create unique new pieces of art influenced by game culture. An international jury nominated five winners, whose work has been produced as cardboard standups and posters in a limited signed and numbered edition which can be purchased on site!

When Jack Tramiel invented Commodore in the 1970?s, he envisioned computing for the masses and not just the upper classes. Spearheading the personal technology revolution and combatting giants like Apple and IBM, Commodore became a household name by changing the way in which we interact, create and play with computers. From the advent of the groundbreaking Atari and Tetris games to the evolution of contemporary technological design, 8 Bit Generation dives into the home computer explosion and explores Commodore?s key role in shaping the future in which we now live.
