Cybersonica, Noise Of Art and Slipped Disco host GAMES:AV - a live concert, screening and club night featuring musicians, DJs, VJs, audiovisualisers, 8-bit operators, film-makers, animators and digital artists whose work has been shaped by Video Games culture... plus a basement gallery of wall-sized interactive games...

There's an entire generation of established artists and up-and-coming talent who have been inspired by and influenced by video games; a wealth of grass root musicians and music makers "who are dedicated to the appreciation and reinterpretation of video game music" (VGM) - through numerous online communities; a vibrant scene of 8-bit music makers or ‘chip tuners' who use the same sound chips as the original games consoles; various digital artist groups whose work explores alternative gaming experiences and the boundaries between gaming and art; and short film-makers and animators from around the world that draw from and are inspired by video game culture.

The line-up will see live performances and DJ/VJ sets from: Ben Osborne v Overlap, The Lost Levels, The Sancho Plan, Vector Lovers and the ZX Spectrum Orchestra and from 8-bit music makers and labels gwEm vs Counter Reset and Jellica (Kittenrock);; as well as contributions from grass-root, online Video Game music communities and 8-bit music makers; multi-player gaming experiences from Handheld and interactive works from digital artist groups such as Boredbrand, igloo and Fijuu and Nipplecat; as well as a Future Shorts specifically curated programme of innovative short films and animations from around the world.

GAMES:AV is part of the London Games Festival Fringe - a celebration of games and interactive entertainment taking place during late October 2007.
